I Need A Doctor"
(feat. Eminem, Liz Rodrigues)
[Chorus - Skylar Grey]
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 starting to creep in, every day
is 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 wack
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
demons fighting 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 me
when I get off this fucking mic
or you gon' hug me
But I'm out of options, there's
nothing else I can do 'cause
[Chorus - Skylar Grey]
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 shit I hear is crazy
But you're either getting lazy or you
don't believe in you no more
seems like your own opinion's not
one you can form
Can't make a decision you keep
questioning yourself
Second guessing and it's almost like
you're begging for my help
like I'm your leader
you're supposed to fucking 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 fucking label, let's
tell the truth
you risked your career for me
I know it as well as you
nobody wanted to fuck with a white
boy tramp crying in his booth
You saved my life, now maybe it's
my turn 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 fuck's sake 'cause
[Chorus - Skylar Grey]
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
bring me back to life
bring me back to life
(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 shit 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 they was
riding to the death
But where the fuck are they now?
now that I need them, I don't see
none of them
all I see is Slim
fuck all you fair-weather friends
all I need is him
fucking backstabbers
when the chips were down you just
laughed at us
Now you 'bout to feel the fucking
wrath of Aftermath, faggots
you gon' see us in our lab jackets
and ask us where the fuck we been?
You can kiss my indecisive ass crack,
maggots, and the cracker's ass
Little Cracker Jack, beat-making
wack-ass backwards producers
I'm back, bastards
one more CD and then I'm packing
up my bags and as I'm leaving
I'll guarantee they scream, "Dre,
don't leave us like that man,"
'cause...
[Chorus - Skylar Grey]
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
