THESE ARE THE 10 WAYS TO SURVIVE IN CLEVELAND....OR NOT TO
YOU DECIDE...

My name is T Burns and I am CEO of U.M.E Collective Inc. (Dramacydal Tv/DramacydalEnt/LakesidePost/U.M.E. Collective Media Solutions&Marketing) and also a proud native of Cleveland, Ohio. From living here and experiencing the city for myself my whole life I have comprised 10 WAYS TO SURVIVE CLEVELAND.....OR 10 WAYS NOT TO....



1. EVERYBODY IS THE REALEST NIGGA: You can't look in a Newsfeed, TweetLine, or have a drink w/o a fool screaming "I'M THE REALEST NIGGA" Yes, that is true YOU ARE A REAL NIGGER! What defines real? Murdering dudes? Selling drugs? How many CYBER SHOTS you can bust? Ok gangsta does Facebook, Twitter or your wack ass #teams make you the realest? Nah what makes you the realest is how you handle that dude thats about to bust your head from behind and take your money lame....

2. EVERYONE HAS BEEF WITH SOME DUDE/CHICK ON FACEBOOK OR TWITTER:
    Just because your life aint shit and you fskw everytime you see a remark that describes a nigga like you, you feel its directed at you so you go h.a.m, NOW, that same person you talking down on at your house......think about it.

3. GF/ WIFE HAS MOVED ON AND YOU CAN'T
 I will tell you personally that I was a victim of the DISGRUNTLED BOYFRIEND situation and I will tell you that being on the receiving end of gunshots then thinking about why this fuck nigga just shot you is kinda funny and also fucked up. But, whats funnier is that same lame writing his ex from the joint or that same lame stretched out on the curb after rolling into the sunset thinking shit sweet.... Fellas, Pussy is not worth your life or freedom...when its over its over let it go

4. INSECURE
Have you ever tried to enjoy a nice evening drinking and dancing and a chick/dude keeps breathing down your neck? So of course after hrs of jocking you finally respond but you are receiving crazy looks from the corner? Thats usually the ugly little boy/girl that your new found interest came with or had previously spoken to, Usually, this depends on the person, ends in some sort of altercation or felonious assault or death.....Fellas/Ladies Never check the source, always start with the actual problem...

5. DRUNK IN PUBLIC/DONT KNOW WHEN TO SIT DOWN
Yes, This right here will get that ass done in...If your totally wasted to the point you cant stfu or sit down or stand up or keep your hands to yourself or listen to reason, then paint a bullseye on that ass cause im pretty sure some dude in the spot pretty salty u grabbed his mom's ass at his Birthday party....

6. DRUG DEALER
How many times has the streets soaked up blood from Nino Brown's and Big Meeches? If you still choose in 2012 to become a drug dealer or remain one here is a couple tips to stay alive....COP WEIGHT, STAY IN THE HOUSE, PURCHASE AN ASSAULT RIFLE, HIRE A HITMAN AND PRAY because it aint the 80's no more fool and niccas dont appreciate shit!!!

7. MONEY
Some people will burn YOUR ass over $1 so my advice to keep YOUR money is to keep you and YOUR money at YOUR home and if you bring YOUR ass to Cleveland please have YOUR gun.

8. REPUTATION/STREET CREDIT
I know 1 for sho 2 for certain... JUST BECAUSE TOM AND DICK WON'T WHOOP THAT ASS BECAUSE HARRY AIN'T THERE DON'T MEAN SHIT!! DO NOT..I REPEAT DO NOT!! RE-ENACT STEP 1!No matter who you know, people you've touched or bodies you claim HOLD NO WEIGHT!  Some real G'z such as myself ain't having it #thatisall

9. SNITCHING
Speaks for itself...People nowadays have a problem keeping things to themselves, now dont get me wrong.. TELL WHEN YOU KNOW THE SITUATION IS COMPLETELY WRONG i.e  RAPE, PEDOPHILIA, KIDNAP, but talking about Jimmy and his crew and what they do for money to Officer Dan will make you have to move...real talk

10. Last but not least.. TALKING WRECKLESS
Yes, To me this is the #1 way to get that ass touched, If your gonna tell the world that "I'M GOING TO FUCK UP SO AND SO" then if i was you i would definitely make sure that I plan on backing that up ASAP! So many people just bump their gums just to hear themselves speak and forget but trust me someone was listening and it will get back! Usually this comes after #1,2,5,8. Ijs don't talk about it be about it! Some people live off their names and rep and will go any length to protect that and even if it means you leaving this place then so be it... Learn to talk in a non-confrontational way and take your problems to the source...dont wait for the repercussions from your little rant because you never know.... you might be in a crosshair as we speak....

***As I comprised this list I just sat back thought why would a person have to live this way just to make it here and I came up with this..."ITS A SHAME" There are no more words left to describe how unfortunate it is that families are losing loved one's to one of the entries on this list and many more...I figured I would try with everything in me to speak on the rise of the murder rate in Cleveland and give an answer to the problem but it isnt one. Its crazy if you have no wealth or job or just plain sense you are waiting to die it seems like and I will tell you this...even though people say its like this everywhere BUT TRUTH IS....Its different when its in my backyard........peace
