Block a nigga in

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

The black community in Compton get marginalized and segregated for a number of reasons:

• There are crooked cops who bring up bullshit charges that leave you no choice but to lay down and take them.

• A lack of opportunities, thanks to such authority, means that you literally can’t escape or leave the city. This classic feature of the gang environment makes little space for mental freedom, there being constant oppression from the streets also.

• Looking at the geography of cities such as Compton, they are often arranged into block formations; there’s a physical claustrophobia too.
