The fact that the chorus is sung with a Jamaican accent references the Jamaican patois "Babylon", meaning "a corrupt system/state", so the song's message is that California is corrupt.
Hooray for hidden meanings/getting crap past the radar.
you can take away the nights with sights and bright lights seek still ride engaged with street fights two to the head pull a left he's dead suspect fled cut up and blood shead no sign of hope we fight and sling dope junkies to our left no fix they cant cope violence wont cease hand me the crow piece no peace or sleep we fight with police this is the city that'll make all your dreams come true so pay attention.

chorus x2 At last she had arrived, we turned in exhausted Cocaine in her pocket, she can get busted Once again she passes, now she's gone Now she's with her friend, her beautiful young She showed up on the scene, she was 17 Now she's 21, she does some more coke, she does some more coke She drinks some whiskey and she smokes some dope She thinks she's a star x4 Do you know who you are? x4 chorus x5

You can take away the nights with sights with bright lights
Seeks still ride, engage in street fights
Two to the head, pull a left, he's dead
Suspect fled, cut up and blood shed
No sign of hope, we fight and sling dope
Junkies to our left, no fix, they can't cope
Violence won't cease, hand me the crow piece
No peace or sleep, we fight with police
