Lyrical Analysis of...
I need a doctor -Dr.Dre Ft. Eminiem
- 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
- 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, everyday it's just so grey 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, 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 fighting you, it's dark
- Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
- I don't think you realise 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 me 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]
- 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 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, 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
- 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
- bring me back to life, bring me back to life,
- I need (a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life)
- 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 crackers' ass, little crack a 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 scream, "Dre, don't leave us like that man!" cause
