This is the lead track from British hip-hop artist Jamie T's EP Sticks and Stones, his first release since 2007's Panic Prevention album.
Jamie T told Q magazine: "I think it sounds a bit like The Police. It's about travelling on the train and reminiscing about things I've seen on the line, like running away from gangs down side alleys."
Jamie T's fast delivery on his songs makes mishearing inevitable. He told The Sunday Times August 30, 2009, that on this song, "everyone thinks the chorus goes, 'Running with believers/Got no time for beaver.' Can I just say it's actually, 'No time for fever.' Someone I know went, 'Oh, man, you've ruined the song for me.'"
