Nas, Jacob Latimore - Motherless Child (Movie Version) lyrics

Every time I look in my mom I see her dilemma
I'm the one thing standing between
Her and being a winner
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Yo, I feel you
When a mother bestows a name on a child
It reveals her hope mine named me Isaiah
Like the prophet
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Right now I feel like a motherless child
A long way from home a long way from my home

My holidays are hollow days
With memories of my mamas face
I could see her now looking at me she smiles
But sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Mama said she’d never leave
(motherless child)
And that she always be there for me
(motherless child)

Where are you now? (motherless child)

A long way from home a long way from my home
