I NEED A DOCTOR LYRICS

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]

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

[Verse 1: 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 in, every day it's just so gray 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 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: Skylar Grey]

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

[Verse 2: 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 opinions, not one you can form

Can't make a decision, you keep questionin' yourself

Second guessin' and it's almost like you're 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

Dre, I’m cryin' in this 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 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: Skylar Grey]

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

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

I need a doctor, doctor

To bring me back to life

[Verse 3: 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 they was ridin' 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

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 us where the fuck we been?

You can kiss my indecisive ass crack, maggots!

And the cracker's ass, little cracker jack beat

Makin' wack math, backwards producers; I'm back, bastards!

One more CD and then I’m packin' up my bags, and as

I’m leavin', I’ll guarantee they'll 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 runnin' outta time

I need a doctor, call me a doctor

I need a doctor, doctor

To bring me back to life

Nothing better than these two on a record together. I hate when people talk shit about Eminem not being as sick as he once was. Seriously? He’s forty one for Christ’s sake! And he’s more dope than 99.8% of other MC’s out there at the moment. It hurts me and gives me a sick happiness knowing that Marshall will never leave the game. It’s killing him, but he can’t live without it. I love it, but I hate it. My utmost respect goes out two Em and Dre.
