What does "to hit a lick" mean in street and hustler slang?
The structure combines "hit" (to strike or execute) with "a lick" (slang for a quick, profitable crime), forming a verb phrase for a successful illegal score. It is used to describe committing a robbery, theft, or other fast money making scheme, often in a single well planned action. People typically say someone "hit a lick" when they stole cash, jewelry, or drugs from a target and got away clean.
