Lyrics:

I sit alone in my four-cornered room staring at candles
Oh that sh*it is on?
Let me drop some sh*it like this here, real smooth
At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn
Candlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies being burned
Four walls just staring at a n*gga
I'm paranoid, sleeping with my finger on the trigger
My mother's always stressin' I ain't living right
But I ain't goin' out without a fight
See, every time my eyes close
I start sweating and blood starts coming out my nose
It's somebody watching the Ak'
But I don't know who it is so I'm watching my back
I can see him when I'm deep in the covers
When I awake I don't see the motherf*cker
He owns a black hat like I own
A black suit and a cane like my own
Some might say take a chill, B
But f*ck that sh*it, there's a n*gga trying to kill me
I'm popping in the clip when the wind blows
Every twenty seconds got me peeping out my window
Investigating the joint for traps
Checking my telephone for taps
I'm staring at the woman on the corner
It's f*cked up when your mind's playing tricks on ya
I make big money
I drive big cars
Everybody know me
It's like I'm a movie star
But late at night something ain't right
I feel I'm being tailed by the same sucker's headlights
Is it that fool that I ran off the block
Or is it that n*gga last week that I shot
Or is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars
Thought he had caine but it was Gold Medal flour
Reached under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers
Ain't no use to me lying
I was scareder than a motherf*cker
Hooked a left into Popeye's and bailed out quick
If it's going down let's get this sh*it over with
Here they come just like I figured
I got my hand on the motherf*cking trigger
What I saw'll make your ass start giggling
Three blind, crippled and crazy senior citizens
I live by the sword
I take my boys everywhere I go because I'm paranoid
I keep looking over my shoulder and peeping around corners
My mind is playing tricks on me
Day by day it's more impossible to cope
I feel like I'm the one that's doing dope
Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous
Every Sunday morning I'm in service
Praying for forgiveness
And trying to find an exit out the business
I know the Lord is lookin' at me
But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy
I often drift when I drive
Having fatal thoughts of suicide
Bang and get it over with
And then I'm worry-free, but that's bullsh*it
I got a little boy to look after
And if I died then my child would be a bastard
I had a woman down with me
But to me it seemed like she was down to get me
She helped me out in this sh*it
But to me she was just another b*tch
Now she's back with her mother
Now I'm realizing that I love her
Now I'm feeling lonely
My mind is playing tricks on me
This year Halloween fell on a weekend
Me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treating
Robbing little kids for bags
Till a old man got behind our a*s
So we speeded up the pace
Took a look back and he was right before our face
He'd be in for a squabble no doubt
So I swung and hit the n*gga in his mouth
He was going down we figured
But this wasn't no ordinary n*gga
He stood about six or seven feet
Now that's the n*gga I'd be seeing in my sleep
So we triple-teamed on him
Dropping them motherf*cking B's on him
The more I swung, the more blood flew
Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared too
Then I felt just like a fiend
It wasn't even close to Halloween
It was dark as f*ck on the streets
My hands were all bloody, from punching on the concrete
God damn homey
My mind is playing tricks on me

"Across 110th Street" (1972) Hotney 9 المشاهدات • منذ 4 سنوات

This is the Opening of 1972's "Across 110th Street" with RE-MIXED SOUNDTRACK: specifically instead of the original version of the song the film used, I've swapped out that track for the other more well known, more orchestrated recorded version, also with Bobby Womack on vocals, just to see hear how it would work. And man DOES it work -- albeit now minus some of those funky 70's rough edges the original version had (congas) which did give it that great 70s 'blaxplotation vibe. Anyway I've got both versions up here on the Tube so you can compare them, the original here
https://youtu.be/96WE2Nj-k-U
and this Remix one.
See what you think!
If you don't agree Bobby Womack just kills this song, man something is wrong with you!

Tarantino used this version of the great Bobby Womack's song in his film, "Jackie Brown". Not once, he used the song twice (!) Under the Opening credits sequence with Pam Greer seeming to float through the airport on the moving sidewalk (pretty cool shot) and then in the closing scene with Robert Foster. Both times to very good effect. More recently the same track was used in "American Gangster". So I hope Mr. Womack is catching some nice royalties.

I hope you enjoy this - it seems very popular and I cant get over the number of hits it gets.

More info:
"Across 110th Street" (1972) is one of the better Blaxploitation Films of the 1970's. It has some great 70's vibe and feel, especially for New York City and & Harlem back then.

"Across 110th Street", the song, is both well written and beautifully sung in this version - credited to "Bobby Womack and Peace". Bobby Womack is truly a gifted vocalist.
Finally here are the VERY WONDERFUL SONG LYRICS:

"Across 110th Street"
------------------------------
I was the third brother of five,
Doing whatever I had to do to survive.
I'm not saying what I did was all right,
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day
fight.
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind,
I knew there was a better way of life that I was just
trying to find.
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under
pressure,
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester.

Across 110th Street,
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.

I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now.
Hey brother, there's a better way out.
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're
copping out.
Take my advice, it's either live or die.
You've got to be strong, if you want to survive.

The family on the other side of town,
Would catch hell without a ghetto around.
In every city you find the same thing going down,
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town.

Across 110th Street,
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.
Yes he can, oh

Look around you, just look around you,
Look around you, look around you, uh yeah

(Great stuff huh?)

MR. BOBBY WOMACK PASSED AWAY IN 2014. RIP TO A GREAT ARTIST
