Verse
           Gm                           Eb 
I told the world one day I would pay it back 

                       Eb 
Say it on tape and lay it record it so that one day I could play it back 

            Bb7                                       Bb 
But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm sayin' that 

       Bb 
Doubts startin' to creep in every day it's just so grey and black 

     Cm     Eb                        Cm 
Hope I just need a ray of that 'cause no one sees my vision 

       Eb 
When I play it for 'em they just say it's wack they don't know what dope is 

                                   Eb 
And I don't know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this 

           Eb             Gm 
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest 

              Gm                                          Eb 
You picked me up breathed new life in me I owe my life to you 

            Eb                             Gm 
But for the life of me I don't see why you don't see like I do 

Eb                 Bb7 
But it just dawned on me you lost a son demons fighting you it's dark 

Bb7 
Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you 

              Cm 
I don't think you realize what you mean to me not the slightest clue 

          Eb 
'cause me and you were like a crew I was like your sidekick 

                Eb 
You gon' either wanna fight me when I get off this fuckin' mic 

                   Dsus4 
Or you gon' hug me but I'm outta options there's nothin' else I can do

Verse
         Eb 
It hurts when I see you struggle you come to me with ideas 

                            Eb 
You say they're just pieces so I'm puzzled 'cause the shit I hear is crazy 

Bb7                                                           Bb 
But you're either gettin' lazy or you don't believe in you no more 

                             Bb 
Seems like your own opinions not one you can form 

      Cm 
Can't make a decision you keep questionin' yourself 

                Eb 
Second guessin' and it's almost like your beggin' for my help 

Gm 
Like I'm your leader you're supposed to fuckin' be my mentor 

      Gm 
I can endure no more I demand you remember who you are 

           Gm 
It was you who believed in me when everyone was tellin' 

Eb 
You don't sign me everyone at the fuckin' label let's tell the truth 

           Bb7                       Bb 
You risked your career for me I know it as well as you 

       Bb                                        Bb7            Bb 
Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy Dre I'm cryin' in this booth 

    Cm 
You saved my life now maybe it's my turn to save yours 

          Eb 
But I can never repay you what you did for me is way more 

            Eb 
But I ain't givin' up faith and you ain't givin' up on me 

       Eb 
Get up Dre I'm dyin' I need you come back for fuck's sake

Verse
   Gm 
It literally feels like a lifetime ago 

            Eb 
But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though 

           Bb7 
You walked in yellow jump suit whole room cracked jokes 

Bb                                     Bb7 
Once you got inside the booth told you mic smoke 

Bb                   Cm 
Went through friends some of them I put on but they just left 

Eb                                               Gm 
They said they was ridin' to the death but where the fuck are they now 

                     Gm 
Now that I need them I don't see none of them 

             Gm

                       Bb7                              Bb      Bb7 
You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been 

                Bb7                  Cm 
You can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots 

                      Cm 
And the crackers' ass little cracker jack beat 

Eb                                                     Gm 
Makin' wack math backwards producers I'm back bastards  

                         Gm            G               Dsus4
