Doctor's Advocate

I didn't mean to walk away but I hear every word they say
I guess my mind just drew a blank like la da da
Now I'm sittin' in this *** cage, reminiscin' about my day
With your *** all over my slade as the Devil sang la da da

Dre, I ain't mean to turn my back on you
But I'm a man and sometimes a man do what he gotta do
Remember, I'm from Compton too
I saw you and Eazy in 'em, so I started wearin' khaki suits

I was 12 smokin' *** in '92
I had a choice be like Mike or be like you
I made a choice, now it's be *** or be ***
Whatever I was, I was bangin' 'Gin & Juice'

Never knew back then I'd be friends with Snoop
Now I gotta keep it gangsta 'cause it's in my roots
So I owe you my life, when I betrayed you
I tried to think of what the *** Eminem might do

If every *** hated him for the 'Black ***' track
And *** stopped bumpin' Dre after DeBars got slapped
When Doc say it's a wrap, it's a wrap
It's still Aftermath and there ain't nothin' after that

I didn't mean to walk away but I hear every word they say
I guess my mind just drew a blank like la da da
Now I'm sittin' in this *** cage, reminiscin' about my day
With your *** all over my slade as the Devil sang la da da

I never said 'Thank You' and I took for granted
You let me in your house and made me a part of your family
Now I'm eatin' with you, Eve and Busta Rhymes
I wasn't starstruck, I was just glad to be signed

And even though sometimes I run loose
You still my homeboy, Doc, I'd take a bullet for you
I'm not askin' you to take my side in the beef
But you told me it was okay to say '*** Tha Police'

Now it's my turn to carry the torch
And I still got the chain that you wore on the cover of The Source
Remember when we got drunk to do 'Start From Scratch'?
I told you you was like a father to me, I meant that

Sittin' here lookin' at my platinum placks
Thinkin' what the *** am I without a Dr. Dre track
When Doc say it's a wrap, it's a wrap
It's still Aftermath and there ain't nothin' after that

I didn't mean to walk away but I hear every word they say
I guess my mind just drew a blank like la da da
Now I'm sittin' in this *** cage, reminiscin' about my day
With your *** all over my slade as the Devil sang la da da

See when the world is on your shoulders and the stress grows bigger
The fire in 'em made it difficult to talk to the ***
Most of the time I let 'em know I don't agree wit what he do
But he a hard head, Dre, that's why I'm talkin' to you

See, when I first met my *** son was layin' in the cut
Type reserve, homie was quite and kept his mouth shut
Until you told him to spit for me, he flippin' from the gut
I dug his spirit and I thought the dude was talented as ***

And as the time went on, now he was workin' with the finest
I saw the pressure started to build, so I gave additional guidance
You gave him somethin' that can make or break a ***
You should face it
So big, I don't even think he was ready to embrace it

With the potential to be a strong *** with conviction
The only problem was our lil' *** wouldn't listen
But when Doc say it's a wrap, it's a wrap
It's still Aftermath and there ain't nothin' after that

I didn't mean to walk away but I hear every word they say
I guess my mind just drew a blank like la da da
Now I'm sittin' in this *** cage, reminiscin' about my day
With your *** all over my slade as the Devil sang la da da
