About This Track

‘Brews’ by Kae Tempest is a 2016 hip-hop/rap track from the album ‘Let Them Eat Chaos’. The lyrics paint a tense street-level scene, with darkening clouds, “war games” and advancing, stormlike menace building overhead, while Pete fumbles with his key and fails to notice what is coming. It is a portrait of delay and denial, catastrophe arriving while someone is fixated on the next small task, as the sky changes and the weather turns into a growling downpour.

"Brews" is a track by Kae Tempest, from the album Let Them Eat Chaos, released 6th October 2016. The track is 0:48 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 16 articles about Kae Tempest.

Lyrics

Brews

Above Pete's head, as he fumbles with his key
The clouds get dark, start brawling
War games, ancient faces, pushing eachother around
The sky's changing
A foaming storm is coming
A howling mist, a growling downpour
Pete don't see it
Pete's too busy tryna make his key fit, he can't quite get it right
Now, in their rooms
Alisha, and Esther, and Gemma
Are too concerned with their own thoughts to think about the weather
But we see clouds like furious ink
Thick liquid sinks and whips the wind
Pitch shifted rumble screams from a swolen grin
There's a big storm rolling in
