Reality struck I seen the white car crash
Hit the light pole two nigga's hopped out on foot and dashed

from Kendrick Lamar (Ft. MC Eiht) – M.A.A.d City Lyrics on Rap Genius

This was the moment Kendrick realized he was living in a warzone, or “m.a.a.d. city.”

He was just a young kid when a car crashed into a pole (presumably from a police car chase since that shit happens in L.A. on the regular) and they hoofed it.

Basically, we ain’t in Kansas no more.
