[Chorus] I'm about to lose my mind You've been gone for so long I'm running out of time I need a doctor Call me a doctor I need a doctor, doctor To bring me back to life
[Eminem] I told the world, one day I would pay it back. Say it on tape and lay it, record it, so that one day I could play it back. But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that. Doubt startin' to creep in, everyday it's just so grey and black. Hope, I just need a ray of that 'Cause no one sees my vision When I play it for 'em, they just say it's whack. But they don't know what dope is. And I don't know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this. All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest. You picked me up, breathed new life in me. I owe my life to you. But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do. But it just dawned on me; you lost a son. Demon's fightin' you, it's dark. Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you. I don't think you realize what you mean to me, not the slightest clue. 'Cause me and you, were like a crew. I was like your sidekick. You gon' either wanna fight when I get off this f-cking mic, Or you gon' hug me. But I'm out of options, there's nothing else I can do cause...
[Chorus] I'm about to lose my mind You've been gone for so long I'm running out of time I need a doctor Call me a doctor I need a doctor, doctor To bring me back to life
[Eminem] It hurts when I see you struggle. You come to me with ideas. You say they're just pieces, so I'm puzzled. 'Cause the sh-t I hear is crazy, But you're either getting lazy, or you don't believe in you no more. Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form. Can't make a decision, you keep questioning yourself, Second guessing, and it's almost like your begging for my help. Like, I'm YOUR leader. You're supposed to f-cking be MY mentor. I can endure no more! I demand you remember who you are! It was YOU, who believed in me, When everyone was telling you, don't sign me. Everyone at the f-cking label, lets tell the truth.
You risked your career for me, I know it as well as you. Nobody wanted to f-ck with the white boy... Dre, I'm crying in this booth. You saved my life, now maybe it's my time to save yours. But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more. But I ain't giving up faith, and you ain't giving up on me. Get up Dre! I'm dying, I need you, come back for f-ck's sake
[Chorus] I'm about to lose my mind You've been gone for so long I'm running out of time I need a doctor Call me a doctor I need a doctor, doctor To bring me back to life
[Dr Dre] It literally feels like a lifetime ago But I still remember the sh-t like it was just yesterday though You walked in, yellow jump suit Whole room, cracked jokes Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke Went through friends, some of them I put on But they just left, they said was riding to the death But where the f-ck are they now Now that I need them, I don't see none of them All I see is Slim F-ck all you fairweather friends All I need is him F-cking backstabbers When the chips were down, you just laughed at us Now you bout to feel the f-cking wrath of aftermath, faggots You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask where the f-ck we been? You can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots and the crackers ass Little cracker jack beat making wack math, Backwards producers, I'm back bastards One more CD and then I'm packing up my bags and as I leave And I guarantee they'll scream, Dre don't leave us like that man cause...
[Chorus] Im about to lose my mind You've been gone
