Cover art for I Need A Doctor lyrics by Dr. Dre

[Chorus] I'm about to lose my mind, you've been gone for so long. I'm runnin' 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 sayin' that. Doubts startin' to creep and 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 if 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. 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, were like a crew. I was like your sidekick. You gon' either wanna fight when I get off this fuckin' mic Or you gon' hug me, but I'm outta options There's nothin' else I can do 'cause

[Chorus] [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 gettin' 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 questionin' yourself. Second guessin' and it's almost like your beggin' for my help. Like I'm your leader, you're supposed to fuckin' 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 tellin' you don't sign me. Everyone at the fuckin' label, let's tell the truth. You risked your career for me, I know it as well as you. Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy tramp cryin' in this booth. You saved my life now maybe it's my turn to save yours. But I could never repay you, what you did for me is way more. But I ain't givin' up faith, and you ain't givin' up on me. Get up Dre, I'm dyin', I need you, come back for fuck's sake 'cause

[Chorus] (Bring me back to life x2 I need a doctor, doctor. To bring me back to life.)

[Dr. Dre] It literally feels like a lifetime ago. But I still remember this shit like it was just yesterday though. You walked in yellow jumpsuit, the whole room cracked jokes. Once you got inside the booth, told you - mic smoke. I went to friends, some of whom I put on. But they just laughed. They said they was ridin' (writin') to the death, but where the fuck are they now? Now that I beat them, I don't see none of them all I see is Slim. Fuck all you fair-weather friends, all I need is him! Fuckin' backstabbers, when the chips were down you just laughed at us. Now you 'bout to feel the fuckin' wrath of Aftermath, faggots. 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 cracker's ass. Lil' Cracker Jack be(ats) makin' whack (m)ass rappers, producers, I'm back bastards. One more CD and then I'm packin' up my bags. And as I'm leavin' I guarantee they'll scream, "Dre don't leave us like that, man" 'cause [Chorus]

Lyric Correction

Belated correction to my submission.

Line 6 of [Dr Dre] should probably be:

"But they just left"

And Line 8 of [Dr Dre] should probably be:

"Now that I need them, I don't see none of them, all I see is Slim."
