Watch your backā¦
Harry looked out over the crowd, it was the usual bunch tonight, it never really changed all that much. Their music attracted a certain type of person, not everyone was into the type of music they played. Most nights they played in underground clubs, early in the morning when the cats are in bed and the mice are out to play.
This particular night was no different from any other, Harry woke to the sound of banging on his door just before lunch. With a groan of pain he rolled out of bed and on to his feet, cursing the cruel person who decided to torture him with such a loud noise. Harry opened the door and walked over to the kitchen without looking at or talking to the intruder.
In the kitchen Harry turned on the coffee maker as his uninvited guest pulled out two mugs and set them down on the bench. The person moved to the other side of the kitchen and watched on as Harry stared at the coffee slowly dripping into the jug, silently willing it t brew faster. Harry's friend quietly spoke up, "So, care to tell me what happened last night? I haven't seen you drink that much in ages." Harry's response was to shift his weight from one leg to another, such question did not deserve an answer. How was he supposed to explain that he felt like someone was watching him all night, and yet, he couldn't work out who. His friends would just laugh it off, they did not know his past, bringing this up would prompt questions, but Harry was sure, there was at least one set of eyes last night who followed his every movement, years in a war often helped one to hone such observation skills, if only he knew where the eyes were. With a shrug he picked up a full mug of black coffee and walked into the spacious lounge room.
After the coffee has been consumed and Harry was feeling a little more alive he spoke to the man, "Please don't tell me babysitting me last night affected your plans for slipping into a drug induced comer." Mike rolled his eyes, "I have never been in a comer, let alone a drug induced one. You know I am careful about what I take. You should really loosen up, take an E every now and then. And it's not like you treat your body like a temple, I mean come on man, all those vodka shots last night, what were they? A head ache cure?" Harry shrugged, "At least my choice of poison is legal"
An hour later Harry and Mike walked into Never, an underground bar that they played at, they had a deal their band, 'Hell in Heaven' got to play in whatever time slot they wanted, whenever they wanted, as long as they helped clean up, restock the bar, take inventory and all those other little annoying jobs that need to be done to keep a club running. Alex and Chris, their fellow band mates had yet to turn up so the boys headed over to the bar to start on the easier jobs, after all it was first in first served, whoever was last had to do the bathroom.
An hour later the couple turned up, with a nod of acknowledgement they got to work. The four worked for several hours, slowing knocking over the jobs with several smoke breaks in between. At 5pm they called it a day and slowly made their way upstairs, once on the foot path they went in separate directions, heading home for a few hours nap. They would meet up again later for dinner and a quick run through of the set they would play tonight.
At midnight the four found themselves back at Never, they were sitting around their usual table, joking and mucking around, but Harry didn't seemed to be entertained by the jokes. He had the same feeling as last night, someone was watching him. He discreetly looked around the room, trying to work out who it was, no one caught his eye, with a shrug he stood and walked back stage, the others following.
It wasn't until half way through the set that Harry found the eyes that made him feel so uncomfortable, their standing in the back was four sets of eyes, two who looked on disapprovingly, one in shock and the other watched on in awe. The first three did not fit in at all, no matter what clothes they wore and what drink they had in their hands, their body language gave them away, they were incredibly uncomfortable with their surroundings and were definitely not there for the music. They could only be there for one reason, to cause trouble.
You gotta be careful
You never know who's around
Look over your shoulder
I'm right behind you
I see you watchin
Two steps behind me, stalkin
Knock me, tryin to stop me from my monopoly
Wait, stop and see what I do next
If you win then ... you be scared and stressed
I've seen your type, all hype
and no substance
We bang hard like snares in percussion
You can't intimidate men like me
You bring a knife to a gunfight
Winning's unlikely
Follow me, go ahead, I'm watching your shadow
The snakes in the grass get caught by the rattles
Skadattle, slam, you been defeated
You're messing with a guerilla
Who told you to beat it
Bleed it, Beep it, whatever you want
Make a million dollars
Go ahead and punt
You still get no respect
It just don't matter
Rat-ta-tat-tat and all the punks scatter
I'm
right
behind you
So you better (uh)
Watch your back

Once in a while
Things can get drastic
Classic, cases of fools made from plastic
Livin in the city
Oppression is king
Survival of the fittest
Is a real thing
One second you're breathing
The next second you're not
One minute you're standing
The next minute you're dropped
357's or AK-47's
All tools that create 187's
A learning departure
To hell in a heaven
No matter if you're rich
Or live like a peasant
The nicest guy
Or The finest girl
Or the toughest gangster
With an O.G. curl
I live in peace
But folks still be testing me
Your best friend today
Tomorrow, your worst enemy
You never know who's planning to jack
That's why I'm trying to warn you people
Watch your back
I'm
right
behind you
So you better (uh)
