I Need A Doctor Feat Eminem And Sky Largrey
Dr Dre/Eminem Lyrics

I'm about to lose my mind
I am stressed and feeling overwhelmed

You've been gone for so long
You have been absent in my life for a significant amount of time

I'm running out of time
I have limited time to achieve something important

I need a doctor
I require assistance and professional help

Call me a doctor
I am in urgent need of medical attention

I need a doctor, doctor
My condition is serious and only a medical professional can help

To bring me back to life
I require help to reinvigorate my mental and/or physical state

I told the world one day I would pay it back
I made a promise to give back to society

Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
I have recorded my promise, so I can remind myself and others of it

So that one day I could play it back
I can listen to this promise and remind myself of my goals

But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that
I doubt my own conviction and motivation

Y'all starting to creep in, everyday its so gray and black
My depression and anxiety are taking over

Hope, I just need a ray of that
I am hopeful for a positive change

Cause no one see's my vision when I play it for 'em
People do not understand or appreciate my ideas

They just say its wack
People criticize and belittle me

But they don't know what dope is
People are not aware of true talent

And I don't know if I was awake or asleep
I do not know if my thoughts and ideas are valid

When I wrote this,
During the time I wrote these lyrics

All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
When I was at my worst state, you provided support and guidance

You picked me up, breath new life in me
You helped me feel renewed and motivated

I owe my life to you
I am grateful for all that you have done for me

But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do
I do not understand why you do not share the same perspective as me

But it just dawned on me you lost a son
I have realized that you have suffered a major loss of losing a son

Demons fighting you, it's dark
You are going through a difficult time, facing inner struggles and challenges

Let me turn on the lights and brighten me it'll enlighten you
I want to help you by providing guidance and perspective to brighten up your life

I don't think you realize what you mean to me
You hold great importance in my life

Not the slightest clue
You are unaware of this fact

'Cause me and you were like a crew
We had a close and supportive friendship

I was like your sidekick
I was always there to support and assist you

You gon' either wanna fight me when I get off this fucking mic
You may disagree with what I have to say and will want to fight me

Or you gon' hug me
You may want to embrace and support me

But I'm out of options there's nothing else I can do 'cause
I am in a difficult and desperate situation with no other options

It hurts when I see you struggle
It hurts me to see you going through hardships

You come to me with ideas
You approach me with your thoughts and ideas

You say there just pieces so I'm puzzled
You believe your ideas are not significant and I am confused by this

'Cause the shit I hear is crazy
What you say and do appears to be irrational and nonsensical

But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
You may be lacking motivation or you may no longer believe in your abilities

Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
You appear to have lost your sense of self and ability to make decisions

Can't make a decision you keep questioning yourself
You are indecisive and doubt your own thoughts

Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
You are seeking my help and guidance as you lack direction

Like I'm your leader
You may see me as a leader or mentor

Your supposed to fucking be my mentor
You were my mentor and provided guidance at one point

I can endure no more,
I can no longer bear the stress and pressure

I demand you remember who you are
I am urging you to rediscover your sense of self and strength

It was you, who believed in me
You were the one who had faith in me

When everyone was telling you don't sign me
When others doubted me, you believed in my talents

Everyone at the fucking label, lets tell the truth
Others at the record label did not believe in me

You risked your career for me
You took a chance on me and my abilities

I know it as well as you
I recognize and appreciate your sacrifice

Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy
Others discriminated against me due to my race

Dre, I'm crying in this booth
I am emotional and upset in this recording studio

You saved my life, now maybe its my turn to save yours
You helped me in the past, and now it's my turn to provide assistance to you

But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
I cannot fully compensate you for all you've done for me

But I ain't giving up faith and you ain't giving up on me
I have faith that things will get better and I trust that you will continue to support me

Get up Dre, I'm dying, I need you, come back for fuck's sake
I am struggling and need you to come back and provide assistance

It literally feels like a lifetime ago
The past seems distant

But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though
Memories from the past are still fresh in my mind

You walked in, yellow jump suit
I remember the details of our past encounter

Whole room, cracked jokes
You brought humor and lightness into the environment

Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
Once you start creating music, it's as if you disappear and become one with your art

Went through friends, some of them I put on
I have had many friendships, some of whom I helped achieve success

But they just left, they said they was riding to the death
My friends left me, despite previously promising to support me until the end

But where the fuck are they now
I question the loyalty of my former friends

All I see is Slim
The only constant in my life is Eminem

Fuck all you fair-weather friends
I am angry at my former friends who left me in my time of need

All I need is him
Eminem is the only person I trust and rely upon

When the chips were down you just laughed at us
When I was struggling, my former friends ridiculed me

Now you 'bout to feel the fucking wrath of aftermath, fagots
Those who hurt me will now experience the fury and consequences of their actions

You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
We will be successful and those who doubted us will be surprised

You can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots and the crackers ass
Those who doubted and betrayed me can face the consequences of their actions

Little crack a jack beat making wack ass backwards producers,
Producers who make inferior music and underestimate us

I'm back bastards
I have returned, despite facing difficulties

One more CD and then I'm packing up my bags and as I'm leaving
After one more album, I plan to leave the music industry

I'll guarantee they scream Dre don't leave us like that man 'cause
Those who appreciated my work will not want me to leave the industry

(I need a doctor, doctor
I require medical assistance

To bring me back to life)
To help restore my physical and/or mental state
