[00:00.20]On the first page of our story
[00:05.50]The future seemed so bright
[00:11.46]Then this thing turned out so evil
[00:16.64]I don’t know why I’m still surprised
[00:23.03]Even angels have their wicked schemes
[00:28.69]And you take that to new extremes
[00:34.64]But you’ll always be my hero
[00:39.98]Even though you’ve lost your mind
[00:45.73]Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
[00:51.11]But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts
[00:57.37]Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
[01:02.71]But that’s all right because I love the way you lie
[01:08.36]I love the way you lie
[01:12.19]Ohhh, I love the way you lie
[01:21.11]So maybe I’m a masochist
[01:27.26]I try to run but I don’t wanna ever leave
[01:33.03]'Till the walls are going up
[01:38.47]In smoke with all our memories
[01:44.90]It's morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
[01:46.85]Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
[01:49.66]Hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry
[01:52.46]That you pushed me into the coffee table last night so I can push you off me
[01:55.85]Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
[01:58.82]Run out the room and I’ll follow you like a lost puppy
[02:02.23]Baby, without you, I’m nothing, I’m so lost, hug me
[02:04.84]Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you’ll always love me
[02:08.29]Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
[02:10.95]Destructive path that we’re on, two psychopaths but we
[02:12.93]Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other’s backs
[02:16.65]That we’ll have each other’s backs, ’cause we’re that lucky
[02:19.49]Together, we move mountains, let’s not make mountains out of molehills
[02:22.37]You hit me twice, yeah, but who’s counting?
[02:25.30]I may have hit you three times, I’m starting to lose count
[02:27.67]But together, we’ll live forever, we found the youth fountain
[02:30.51]Our love is crazy, we’re nuts, but I refused counselling
[02:34.11]This house is too huge, if you move out I’ll burn all two thousand
[02:36.99]Square feet of it to the ground, ain’t **** you can do about it
[02:39.49]Cause with you I’m in my ****ing mind, without you, I’m out it
[02:41.65]Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
[02:46.86]But that’s all right because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie
[02:57.16]I'm about to lose my mind
[03:00.63]You’ve been gone for so long
[03:03.33]I’m runnin' outta time
[03:07.37]I need a doctor, call me a doctor
[03:13.73]I need a doctor, doctor
[03:17.82]To bring me back to life
[03:21.28]I told the world, one day I would pay it back
[03:23.24]Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
[03:25.10]So that one day I could play it back
[03:27.08]But I don’t even know if I believe it when I’m sayin' that
[03:30.67]Doubts startin' to creep in, every day it's just so gray and black
[03:33.65]Hope, I just need a ray of that
[03:35.46]‘Cause no one sees my vision when I play it for ‘em
[03:37.77]They just say it's wack — but they don’t know what dope is
[03:40.42]And I don’t know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this
[03:42.64]All I know is, you came to me when I was at my lowest
[03:44.92]You picked me up, breathed new life in me, I owe my life to you
[03:48.54]But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do
[03:51.29]But it just dawned on me you lost a son, demons fightin' you
[03:54.30]It’s dark, let me turn on the lights
[03:56.28]And brighten me and enlighten you
[03:58.18]I don't think you realize what you mean to me
[04:00.06]Not the slightest clue, ‘cause me and you were like a crew
[04:02.88]I was like your sidekick; you gon' either wanna fight me
[04:05.64]When I get off this ****in' mic, or you
[04:07.30]Gon' hug me, but I'm outta options, there's nothin' else I can do
[04:09.79]‘Cause—
[04:10.90]I'm about to lose my mind
[04:14.40]You’ve been gone for so long
[04:17.12]I’m runnin' outta time
[04:21.27]I need a doctor, call me a doctor
[04:27.48]I need a doctor, doctor
[04:31.69]To bring me back to life
[04:35.24]It hurts when I see you struggle; you come to me with ideas
[04:37.51]You say they're just pieces, so I’m puzzled
[04:40.18]‘Cause the **** I hear is crazy
[04:41.51]But you're either gettin' lazy
[04:42.32]Or you don’t believe in you no more
[04:44.64]Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
[04:47.39]Can't make a decision, you keep questionin' yourself
[04:48.93]Second guessin' and it's almost like you're beggin' for my help
[04:53.19]Like I’m your leader, you're supposed to freakin' be my mentor
[04:56.53]I can endure no more, I demand you remember who you are
[04:59.59]It was you who believed in me when everyone was tellin' you
[05:02.02]Don't sign me, everyone at the freaking label, let's tell the truth!
[05:04.89]You risked your career for me, I know it as well as you
[05:09.05]Nobody wanted to **** with the white boy
[05:10.56]Dre, I’m cryin' in this booth
[05:12.43]You saved my life, now maybe it's my turn to save yours
[05:15.02]But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
[05:18.05]But I ain't givin' up faith
[05:19.49]And you ain't givin' up on me — get up, Dre!
[05:21.66]I'm dyin', I need you, come back for ****’s sake!
[05:24.50]I'm about to lose my mind
[05:28.27]You’ve been gone for so long
[05:31.02]I’m runnin' outta time
[05:35.15]I need a doctor, call me a doctor
[05:41.32]I need a doctor, doctor
[05:48.62]It literally feels like a lifetime ago
[05:51.55]But I still remember the **** like it was just yesterday though
[05:53.83]You walked in, yellow jump suit, whole room, cracked jokes
[05:58.20]Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
[06:01.28]Went through friends, some of them I put on, but they just left
[06:04.50]They said they was ridin' to the death
[06:06.25]But tell me where are they now, now that I need them?
[06:08.57]I don't see none of them, all I see is Slim
[06:10.56]**** all you fair-weather friends! All I need is him
[06:13.10]****in' backstabbers!
[06:13.43]When the chips were down you just laughed at us
[06:15.97]Now you 'bout to feel the ****in' wrath of Aftermath, damn it
[06:20.02]You gon' see us in our lab jackets
[06:21.67]And ask us where the hell we been?
[06:23.66]You can kiss my indecisive *** crack, maggots!
[06:25.89]And the cracker's ***, little cracker jack beat
[06:29.04]Makin' wack math, backwards producers; I'm back, bastards!
[06:32.28]One more CD and then I’m packin' up my bags, and as
[06:34.47]I’m leavin', I’ll guarantee they'll scream:
[06:36.04]"Dre, don’t leave us like that, man!" ‘cause—
[06:38.42]I'm about to lose my mind
[06:43.00]I need a doctor, doctor
[06:47.03]To bring me back to life
