I Need A Doctor]
Eminem Ft. Dr. Dre & Skylar Grey Lyrics

I'm about to lose my mind
I'm feeling helpless and on the verge of mental breakdown.

You've been gone for so long
The person I need has been absent for a significant amount of time.

I'm running out of time
I need help urgently as things are getting out of hand.

I need a doctor
I desperately need medical help to save me from this distress.

Call me a doctor
I'm urging someone to help me find a doctor as soon as possible.

I need a doctor, doctor
I'm repeating my plea for medical help, emphasizing the urgency and importance.

To bring me back to life
I need someone to revive me and help me recover from this situation.

I told the world one day I would pay it back
I promised to return the favor to someone who helped me in a significant way.

Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
I documented my promise for posterity and as a reminder to myself.

So that one day I could play it back
I wanted to remind myself of my promise and inspire me to keep it.

But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that
I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep my promise or if it's just wishful thinking.

Y'all starting to creep in, everyday its so gray and black
I'm struggling to cope with the challenges and negativity of everyday life.

Hope, I just need a ray of that
I'm yearning for a glimmer of hope to sustain me through these difficulties.

Cause no one see's my vision when I play it for 'em
People around me don't understand or appreciate my artistic vision.

They just say its wack
They dismiss my creative work as lacking or uninteresting.

But they don't know what dope is
They don't recognize the quality and originality of my artistic expression.

And I don't know if I was awake or asleep When I wrote this,
I'm unsure of the creative process that led to my work and its authenticity.

All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
Someone helped me when I was in my most vulnerable state, and they made a significant impact on my life.

You picked me up, breath new life in me
This person gave me new energy and inspiration to overcome my difficulties.

I owe my life to you
I'm indebted to this person for saving me from despair and giving me a new lease on life.

But for the life of me I don't see why you don't see like I do
I don't understand why this person doesn't share my artistic vision and perspective.

But it just dawned on me you lost a son
I've realized that this person has experienced a significant loss and deep pain in their life.

Demons fighting you, it's dark
This person is struggling with internal turmoil and facing challenging circumstances.

Let me turn on the lights and brighten me it'll enlighten you
I want to help this person overcome their challenges and inspire them with my work.

I don't think you realize what you mean to me
This person is extremely important to me, and I value their impact on my life.

Not the slightest clue
This person doesn't understand or recognize their significance in my life.

'Cause me and you were like a crew
We were like partners in crime, working together and supporting each other.

I was like your sidekick
I played a supportive role in this person's life and work.

You gon' either wanna fight me when I get off this fucking mic Or you gon' hug me
My work and words may provoke strong emotions from this person, ranging from anger to affection.

But I'm out of options there's nothing else I can do 'cause
I'm at my wits' end and have exhausted all possible solutions and strategies.

It hurts when I see you struggle
I feel pain and sadness when this person is facing challenges.

You come to me with ideas
This person seeks my guidance and input on their creative work and ideas.

You say there just pieces so I'm puzzled
This person is uncertain about the quality or completeness of their creative work.

'Cause the shit I hear is crazy
This person's creative output seems unusual or unconventional to me.

But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
This person may be losing their creative drive or confidence in their abilities.

Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
This person is struggling to form their own opinions and views on their work and life.

Can't make a decision you keep questioning yourself
This person is indecisive and unsure of themselves, leading to self-doubt and anxiety.

Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
This person is seeking my validation and support in their creative and personal struggles.

Like I'm your leader
This person sees me as a mentor or guide in their life and work.

Your supposed to fucking be my mentor
This person expects me to provide guidance and support as their mentor.

I can endure no more
I'm at the end of my rope and can't handle this stress and pressure anymore.

I demand you remember who you are
I'm urging this person to regain their sense of identity and purpose.

It was you, who believed in me
This person was instrumental in my success and creative growth.

When everyone was telling you don't sign me
This person took a chance on me and believed in me even when others doubted me.

Everyone at the fucking label, lets tell the truth
Others at the record label were skeptical or dismissive of my potential and talent.

You risked your career for me
This person put their reputation and professional success on the line to support me.

I know it as well as you
I understand the significance and risk of this person's faith in me.

Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy
I faced discrimination and prejudice in the music industry due to my race.

Dre, I'm crying in this booth
I'm emotional and vulnerable while recording this song and reflecting on my struggles.

You saved my life, now maybe its my turn to save yours
I owe this person a debt of gratitude and want to repay them for all they've done for me.

But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
No matter what I do, it will never be enough to repay this person for their impact on my life.

But I ain't giving up faith and you ain't giving up on me
We both still have hope and belief in each other despite the challenges we've faced.

Get up Dre, I'm dying, I need you, come back for fuck's sake
I'm desperate for this person's help and support to revive me from my current struggles.

Bring me back to life
I need this person to help me regain my energy and inspiration to overcome my difficulties.

It literally feels like a lifetime ago
The past events and memories feel distant and long ago, despite their significant impact.

But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though
Despite the passage of time, the memories and emotions are still fresh in my mind.

You walked in, yellow jump suit
I have a vivid memory of this person and the outfit they wore when we first met.

Whole room, cracked jokes
This person brought a sense of humor and lightheartedness to our interactions and surroundings.

Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
This person had a natural and effortless talent in the recording booth.

Went through friends, some of them I put on
I've had volatile relationships and partnerships with others in the music industry, some of whom I've helped to succeed.

But they just left, they said they was riding to the death
Despite their initial loyalty and dedication, others have abandoned me and our shared work.

But where the fuck are they now Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
When I'm facing challenges and struggles, those who claimed to ride with me are nowhere to be found.

All I see is Slim
The only person I can rely on and see as a loyal partner is Slim, an alias for myself.

Fuck all you fair-weather friends
Others who only support me when it's convenient or beneficial to them are not true friends or allies.

All I need is him
The only person I can rely on and trust is myself.

Fucking backstabbers
Those who have betrayed me in the past are not trustworthy or reliable.

When the chips were down you just laughed at us
Those who abandoned or betrayed me in difficult times are not worth my loyalty or trust.

Now you 'bout to feel the fucking wrath of aftermath, fagots
Those who have wronged me will face consequences and repercussions from my record label company, Aftermath Entertainment.

You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
Aftermath Entertainment and its artists will come back stronger and more successful, despite past struggles and betrayals.

You can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots and the crackers ass
Those who have doubted or betrayed me are not worth my attention or respect.

Little crack a jack beat making wack ass backwards producers, I'm back bastards
My return to success and creativity will prove the naysayers and haters wrong.

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
My next album will be my last before I move on to other pursuits, and I know that others will plea and beg for me to stay.
