I WAS RAISED ON THE STREET

What it means

A group of Sesame Street characters pose together around Oscar the Grouch, with Big Bird towering over them. The phrase “I was raised on the street” humorously twists the wholesome children’s show title into a tough street upbringing joke, making it a playful reaction to someone claiming street smarts or a rough background.
