Cover art for Across 110th Street lyrics by Bobby Womack

It's about a guy and the neighborhood he grew up in. He wanted to avoid the vices other people around him gave into, but at some point he did some things he regrets. Things he won't allude to specifically, because they were morally and/or legally wrong. He's not proud of what he did, but he also thinks he did what he had to do to escape the ghetto.
