Street 'Surance is health insurance sold to the poorest sectors of American society, often door-to-door. Such policies are often worthless, the payout ratio being notoriously low. Most such companies engaged in this activity operate outside normal perameters and many are straightforwardly illegal. The pejorative use of the word 'Surance' refers to how the word Insurance may be pronounced by low income families, at whom such policies are targeted.
One of the best dramatized examples of Street 'Surance in modern culture is in the Matt Damon/Danny De Vito film 'Rainmaker', based on the novel by John Grisham, in which a young man with terminal cancer dies because the his "insurance policy" will not pay out. Unsurprisingly, the "Insurance company" is merely a Ponzi scheme and has been looted by the proprietor. The film revolves around a court case brought by the posthumous claimant (and his parents).

An assault shotgun, such as the Pancor Jackhammer. Comes from its ability to engage multiple targets at the same time. Also called a street cleaner.
Get a eye full of lead when I slight your lights out/
With a street cleaner, wipe your life out/
Bullets know at you're ears, like a Tyson fight bout/

A type of gang affiliated with the street; street and city is their home. Usually formed to give members a sense of social comfort.
The group of friends decided that they were bored with their studies, so they took to the streets and became a gang of street cats.
