Being street

Growing up in not so lavish circumstances.

Keeping it 100, you get what you give. Respect me I respect you.

Not being greedy because you know what it’s like to be in a bad situation.

You do what you have to do in this hard world.
Being street is a way you grow up to be as a human being. Growing up under poor conditions yet thankful for everything. The opposite to being a rat.

street lotion

A thin film that covers paved surfaces in urban areas and makes them slightly darker and somewhat slippery. Found with greater frequency near dumpsters and in front of restaurants that serve greasy food.
Due to not having alleys and piling their garbage on sidewalks NYC has a greater prevalence of street lotion as compared to other US cities.
