Street Smarts is shit that you know when you are in the streets. You know where and when to not act up and shit. You know why things happen, You know how to deal with certain situations.

Ghetto Mentality on the other hand, is being basically in the ghetto state of mind. You'd have to live in the situation, and its become so much part of your life that its the way you deal with any situation. Dudes with ghetto mentality dont necessarily need to have street smarts and vice versa. Ghetto Mentality is basically, the way you'd handle things through a ghetto state of mind, basically, "We Cant Win, so why bother?"
