Keeping It Real

[vernonk]

Today I met a gentleman from Brixton who, on saying goodbye, told me to 'keep it real'. I said I would and, as a man of my word, I plan to. However, I don't know what keeping it real entails. Please can someone enlighten me?

Stay authentic to what and who you are. Don't let life and society change you into someothing you aren't.

I didn't know. But it seems to mean keep a level head.

You could always pretend to keep it real !

^ True. Sincerity is important. If you can fake that you've got it made.

Sandy's right. And I mean that sincerely! ;-)

Don't think he meant anything deeply philosophical by it. Just a habit, as when people in this part of the world say: "Keep her lit!"
