Im about to lose my mind
 you’ve been gone for so long
 [bad word] out of time
 I need a doctor
 call me a doctor
 I need a doctor, doctor
 to bring me back to life

 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
 ya’ll starting to creep in, everyday its so grey and black
 hope, I just need a ray of that
 cause no one see’s my vision when I play it for ‘em
 they just say its wack
 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, breeding life in me
 I owe my life to you
 before the life of me, I dont see why you dont see like I do
 but it just dawned on me you lost a son
 see this light in you, it’s dark.
 let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
 I dont think you realise 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 f-cking mic
 or you gon hug me
 but I’m not an option, theres nothing else I can do cause…

 Im about to lose my mind
 you’ve been gone for so long
 [bad word] out of time
 I need a doctor
 call me a doctor
 I need a doctor, doctor
 to bring me back to life

 It hurts when I see you [bad word] 
 [bad word] to me with ideas
 you say there just pieces so I’m puzzled
 cause the [bad word] i hear is crazy
 but your either getting lazy or you don’t believe in you no more
 seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
 cant make a decision you keep questioning yourself
 second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
 like I’m your leader
 your susposed 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 dont sign me
 everyone at the f-cking label, lets tell the [bad word] 
 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 its my turn to save yours
 but I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
 but I aint giving up faith and you aint giving up on me
 get up Dre, I’m dying, I need [bad word] back for f-ck’s sake

 Im about to lose my mind
 you’ve been gone for so long
 [bad word] 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)

 It literally feels like a lifetime ago
 but I still remember the [bad word] 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 f-ck are they now
 now that I need them, I dont see none of them
 all I see is Slim
 f-ck all you fair-weather 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, [bad word] 
 you gon see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the f-ck we been?
 you can kiss my indecisive [bad word] crack maggots and the crackers [bad word] 
 little crack a jack beat making wack math,
 backwards producers, Im back [bad word] 
 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…

 Im about to lose my mind
 you’ve been gone for so long
 [bad word] out of time
 I need a doctor
 call me a doctor
 I need a doctor, doctor
