I Need A Doctor
Future Hitmakers Lyrics

I'm about to lose my mind
I'm on the verge of losing control

You’ve been gone for so long, I’m runnin' outta time
You've been away from me for so long that I feel like time is running out for me

I need a doctor, call me a doctor
I need medical attention urgently, call a doctor for me

I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life
I need a doctor who can save me and bring me back to life

I told the world one day I would pay it back
I promised the world that I would make them proud one day

Say it on tape, and lay it, record it so that one day I could play it back
I recorded my promise so that one day I can listen back to it

But I don’t even know if I believe it when I’m sayin' that
I am starting to doubt myself and question whether I can actually make good on my promise

Doubts startin' to creep in, everyday it's just so grey and black
I'm constantly plagued by doubts and everything seems bleak and dreary

Hope, I just need a ray of that, cause no one sees my vision
I desperately need some hope, some light in the darkness, because nobody else believes in my vision

When I play it for ‘em, they just say it's wack, they don’t know what dope is
When I share my vision with others, they reject it and criticize it without truly understanding its value

And I don’t know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this
I'm not even sure if I was fully conscious when I wrote these words

All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
I do know that you came to me when I was at my lowest point

You picked me up, breathed new life in me, I owe my life to you
You helped me overcome my struggles and gave me a new lease on life, I am forever in your debt

But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do
Despite everything you've done for me, I can't understand why you don't share my vision

But it just dawned on me you lost a son, demons fighting you, it’s dark
I suddenly realized that you're dealing with your own demons, the loss of your son, and it's a very difficult time for you

Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
Let me help you see things more clearly and bring some positivity into our situation

I don't think you realise what you mean to me, not the slightest clue
I don't think you understand just how much you mean to me, you have no idea

Cause me and you were like a crew, I was like your sidekick
We were always together, like a team, and I felt like I was your loyal assistant

You gon either wanna fight me when I get off this fuckin' mic
My words might upset you so much that you'll want to fight me when I'm done rapping

Or you gon' hug me, but I'm outta options, there's nothin' else I can do cause
Or you might hug me, but I'm out of ideas and options at this point

It hurts when I see you struggle, you come to me with ideas
It hurts me to see you struggling and coming to me with your ideas

You say they're just pieces, so I’m puzzled, cause the shit I hear is crazy
You describe your ideas as just pieces, which confuses me because what I'm hearing from you is incredible

But you're either gettin' lazy or you don’t believe in you no more
Either you're becoming lazy or you've lost faith in yourself

Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
It seems like you can't even form your own opinions anymore

Can't make a decision you keep questionin' yourself
You can't make decisions and keep second-guessing yourself

Second guessin' and it's almost like your beggin' for my help
You keep second-guessing yourself and it feels like you're asking me to help you make decisions

Like I’m your leader, you're supposed to fuckin' be my mentor
You look up to me as your leader and mentor, but now you're struggling and it's like we've switched roles

I can endure no more I demand you remember who you are
I can't take it anymore, I need you to remember who you are and what you're capable of

It was YOU, who believed in me when everyone was tellin'
You were the one who believed in me when everyone else doubted me

You don't sign me, everyone at the fuckin' label, let's tell the truth
Nobody wanted to sign me, not even the people at the record label, that's the truth

You risked your career for me, I know it as well as you
You risked everything to give me a chance, I'm aware of that

Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy, Dre, I’m cryin' in this booth
Nobody wanted to work with me because I was a white rapper, it's bringing me to tears just thinking about it

You saved my life, now maybe it's my turn to save yours
You saved my life by giving me a chance, and now it's my turn to repay you and help you however I can

But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
I can never fully repay you for what you did for me, it was so much more than I could ever give back

But I ain't givin' up faith and you ain't givin' up on me
But I'm not giving up hope and I know you won't give up on me either

Get up Dre I'm dyin', I need you, come back for fuck’s sake
I'm desperate and dying here, I need you to help me now, please come back

It literally feels like a lifetime ago
It feels like it's been an eternity since we were working together

But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday, though
But I still remember everything like it was just yesterday, it's still so fresh in my mind

You walked in, yellow jump suit, whole room, cracked jokes
You walked in wearing a yellow jumpsuit, and you lit up the room with your humor

Once you got inside the booth, told you, mic smoke
As soon as you started rapping in the recording booth, the microphone started smoking from the intensity of your performance

Went through friends, some of them I put on, but they just left
I've had friends who I helped advance in their careers, but they eventually abandoned me

They said they was ridin' to the death, but where the fuck are they now?
They promised they would be loyal to me until the end, but now they're nowhere to be found

Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
Now that I need my friends, they're all absent and nowhere to be found

All I see is Slim, fuck all you fair-weather friends, all I need is him
The only person I see here for me is Slim (Eminem), and I don't need any of you fake friends anymore

Fuckin' backstabbers, when the chips were down you just laughed at us
You're all just a bunch of backstabbers who laughed at us when we were struggling

Now you bout to feel the fuckin' wrath of Aftermath, faggots
Now we're going to unleash the full power of Aftermath on you, you disgust us

You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
You're going to see us working hard in our lab jackets and wonder where we've been all this time

You can kiss my indecisive ass crack, maggots
I don't care about your opinions anymore, you can all go to hell

And the crackers' ass, little crack a jack beat
Your music is garbage, it's just a little kid's game (like a Cracker Jack box)

Makin' wack math, backwards producers, I'm back bastards
You're all terrible at making music, and I'm back to prove you wrong

One more CD and then I’m packin' up my bags and as I’m leavin'
After one more album, I'm quitting music and walking away

I’ll guarantee they scream, "Dre, don’t leave us like that man!"
I know people will beg Dre to convince me not to quit music
