I am a big fan of Thievery Corporation and after the first time listening "Letter to the editor" i was extremely curious how the girl looks like , is she fatty? What's her haircut ? I was hit very hard by Raquel Jones. Extremely talented. Love your music! I am addicted! Wish I can have friends like you! Bless!
LYRICS: (Note, I don't speak Jamaican English. Took me a lot of repeat listens & some may not be correct. If anyone has edits for me, let me know) (Also, during writing them, I discovered this song is about a serious real issue in Jamaica of police violence, especially against the poor. Please, stop and listen...)

Wonder when
Wonder when
Wi a nah guh pretend
(We are not going to pretend)
See law men an poor men
(See law men and poor men)
Will neva be friends
(Will never be friends)
An de siem goes fah aal
(And the same goes for all)
Wen it comes to de law
(When it comes to the law)
You git caught wid dat strud
(You get caught with that strud)
Inna de police central
(In the police central)
Police central
Police central
An de siem goes fah aal
Wen it comes to de law
Who's the victim?
Who's the enemy?
What's the sickness?
What's the remedy?
Is the system
Anti-melanin?
An how come protection
Is not for my color skin?
Who's the villain?
Who's civilian?
Where's division
There's rebellion
Who's the media?
Who's the reada'?
Who's the shoota'?
Who's the bleeda'?
Wonder when
Wonder when
Wi a nah guh pretend
See law men an poor men
Will neva be friends

Wen it comes to de law
You git caught wid dat strud
Inna de police central
Police central
Police central
An de siem goes fah aal
Wen it comes to de law
?
When I touch a microphone
?
Ragamuffin to the bone
Pretentious , pretenders
Hypocrisy, defenders
Pretending it's fancy
For the tourists and vendors
Selling them the picture with the big apartheid
Dey lead the dark side
From dem archives
Modern day apartheid
With dem false pride
And dem erase together
From the tourist and ?
Wonder when
Wonder when
Wi a nah guh pretend
See law men an poor men
Will neva be friends
An de siem goes fah aal
Wen it comes to de law
You git caught wid dat strud
Inna de police central
Police central
Police central
An de siem goes fah aal
Wen it comes to de law
They tell me write about some happy shit
Don't be some type of activist
Keep the music positive
People like an optimist
You want me to identify
With your patriotic light
All to many one
People wear the right
Though never equal
Rich at the top
The poor below
Average in the eyes of the law
The poor is a savage
And the juries and judges
Hold similar grudges
To muderers and suits flashing police badges
Wonder when
Wonder when
Wi a nah guh pretend
See law men an poor men
Will neva be friends
An de siem goes fah aal
Wen it comes to de law
You git caught wid dat strud
Inna de police central
Police central
Police central
An de siem goes fah aal
Wen it comes to de law
thank ya man!!
