Bobby Womack married Sam Cooke's wife after he passed away so the song is basically about them, Bobby was black balled from the industry for a while, but they couldn't stop his writing abilities, so he eventually came back with a whole bunch of hits.

That’s absolutely correct. Bobby Womack was talking about Sam and Sam’s wife in that song. Matter of fact, Sam was murdered. Bobby did say in his song ‘I hoped that he(Sam) never come home.’ Bobby came to Sam’s funeral with Sam’s wife. He was wearing Sam’s suit and driving Sam’s car. Bobby married Sam’s wife two months after the funeral.

He knew Dale wanted to beat his ass, and once he saw Dale, he told him to do what he needed to do.. which led to Dale knocking him out

The story is that he was mentored by Sam Cooke when he turn from singing Gospel to secular music; after Sam Cooke was Murdered, Bobby married is Widow... Bobby says it was to protector from all the family that would be trying to still her inherited money... But the Family was mad and wanted to Kill Him... So his songs and his life were kind of a Mirror to each other... LOL !!!
