I Need A Doctor (LYRICS)

Postby dR3 » Nov 17th, '10, 14:48

My go at these lyrics, feel free to post corrections, I'll edit my post.

Hook/Intro [Skylar Grey]:
I'm about to lose my mind
you've been gone for so long
I'm running 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 can play it back
but I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that
doubt's starting to creep in, every day is 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 whack
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 hurting you,
it's dark, let me turn on the lights and brighten it 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
will either wanna fight when I get off this fucking mic, or you gon' hug me
but I'm out of options there's nothing else I can do, cause...

Hook [Skylar Grey]:
I'm about to lose my mind
you've been gone for so long
I'm running 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 of a puzzle, cause the shit I hear is
crazy but you either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
seems like your own opinion's not one you can form
can't make a decision, you keep questioning yourself
second guessing, and it's almost like you're begging for my help
like I'm your leader, you're supposed to fucking 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 telling you
don't sign me, everyone at the fucking 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 crying in this booth
you saved my live now maybe it's my turn to save yours
but I could never repay you, what you did for me is way more
but I ain't giving up faith, and you ain't giving up on me
GET UP DRE, I'M DYING, I NEED YOU, COME BACK FOR FUCK'S SAKE, cause...

Hook [Skylar Grey]:
I'm about to lose my mind
you've been gone for so long
I'm running 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 clearly feels like a lifetime ago
but I still remember this shit like it was just yesterday, tho
you walked in, yellow jump suit, ?-?, crack jokes,
once you got inside the booth, I told you, ?-?
went through friends, some of 'em I put on, but they just left
they said they was riding to the death
but where the fuck are they now
now that I need them, I don't see none of 'em
all I see is Slim, fuck all you ?-? friends, all I need is him
fucking backstabbers, when the chips were down you just laughed at us
now you're about to feel the fucking wrath of Aftermath faggots
you gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask where the fuck we've been
you can kiss my indecisive ass, crack,
maggots in the cracker's ass, little cracker Jack
?-? making wack ?---? producers I'm back bastards
one more CD and then I'm packing up my bags
and as I'm leaving I guarantee they'll scream
Dre don't leave us like that make us...

Hook/Outro [Skylar Grey]:
I'm about to lose my mind
you've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor, call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
to bring me back to life

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

Song is amazing. I cant wait for a mastered version of this.

It's fucking epic. The balls to make a song like that is incredible. Those lyrics about Dre's son are fucking touching as hell, the honesty in the whole thing is just... i dunno how to describe it.

This one shocked me, big time, espeically as I hadnt heard the snippets.

Liz is killing the choruses lately. I don't know whose idea it was to sign her but they deserve a medal!

Nice song, I like all three verses :) Great and heartfelt tribute to the Doctor. Looking forward to hearing the finished version.

Beat is awesome too
