street smart, street wise

Street smart,

Street wise,

Haters couldn't see me with three eyes,

If I was muslim I would be on the coners,

Hustlin' bean pies,

I used to be the youngboy,

Rocking the fila's,

Now the ice on my wrist so bright I can see God.

street smarts

Intelligence gained outside of school. Just as useful as book smarts, and in many cases more so. It can be divided into 4 categories.

1.Getting Along With Others- Knowing which questions to ask and not asking too many,being polite and friendly, but also being assertive.

2.Common Sense- Knowing who you can trust, which areas in town are good and which are bad, etc.

3.Self-defense-Knowing how to fight and fend off an attacker, especially if you are small.

4.BS-detection-Knowing when people are trying to fuck you over, reading their intentions, and knowing that most corporate advertisements are complete bullshit.
