I Need a Doctor Lyrics
[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 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 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, we're like a crew. I was like your sidekick.
You gon' either wanna fight 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]
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 that these are 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 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 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, lets tell the truth.
You risked your career for me, I know it as well as you.
Nobody wanted to fuck 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 fuck's sake
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
[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, mic smoke
Went through friends, some of them I put on
But they just left, they said 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 fairweather 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, f-ggots
You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask where the fuck we been?
You can kiss my indecisive ass crack,
maggots and the crackers 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 leavin'
I guarantee they'll scream, Dre don't leave us like that man 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
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
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
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.

It's like Eminem and Dre get to tell a little of their story about each other TO each other. After all these years too, how one chance led to what this is. The feeling these two put into these lyrics is astounding. You can feel the brotherly love they share. Now the beats... had so much more potential I felt. But the song is still great. They get to tell each other how much the other means to them. True friendship. Being there for each other after the greatest heights of fame and glory. When one falls down or starts to slip, the other one comes to the rescue. Everytime. Amazing.
I think that this song is about Eminem trying to get Dr. Dre's career out of a metaphoric coma so he can finish Detox because he feels grateful for all the stuff that Dr.Dre has helped with during his career. In Dre's verse, thanks Eminem for being there through his stuff times (like the death of Dre's son).
i really hate that beat, shitty low-end pop rap fluff, but there's a good story here.
the story is so good , it worth to stand the shitty thing!!!

dont call eminem shitty he almost died this song is better than any other hibidyhobady shit u get from the other rappers
dont call eminem shitty he almost died this song is better than any other hibidyhobady shit u get from the other rappers
You can tell that both of them wrote their own lyrics for this song
Here are my corrections. Think I got em all right.
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 fightin' you? It's dark.

I fixed 'em. thanks! :)
I fixed 'em. thanks! :)
i reckon its about the illuminati 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. and makes a girl sing with him so it sounds like a love song, same as 'love the way you lie' with rihanna
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
he's about to lose his mind to the illuminati cause his true self has been gone for too long and he needs a doctor to bring him back to lifeeeeeeeeeee.

i think the youve been gone for so long is talking about eminem reffering to dr.dre and dr.dre reffering to his son because in the song eminem says dr.dre lost a son. and who ever says eminem shouldnt be a rapper cuz hes white or that he sucks than fck you he did it for his family and at least he actually raps about something. jesus's shat in a bucket is how much i hate rappers that just go hibidyhobadyhibidyhobay for 8 minutes at super speed
