Having spent the best part of a decade bringing some manners back to popular culture, this dopest of fellows endeavours to entertain and amuse, with his ingenious stylings.
Aiming to dazzle with dignity, Mr.B takes to the stage with his banjolele and stiff upper lip to perform ditties of pipe-smoking, high society, cricket and sexual misadventure, as well as some more well-known pieces from the world of hip-hop, re-worked in chap-hop fashion.

Keep It Real
Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make another man rich Everytime you work a job
But you look like a sucka Everytime you steal and rob
Betta learn how to hustle cause now we all got them rods
It was to be survival of the fittest now the fittest ain't surviving
Niggas acting like some hoes and niggas really ain't riding
I see you niggas hiding,
When you see the ops sliding
You made it quick call and it was followed by them sirens
You tell stories bout to licks but real gangstas move in silence
I'm getting tired of u suckaz that's a fact
No more love in these streets so watch your back
Snitching on yo Patna acting like you not a rat
Ain't honor amongst thieves niggas switching that's no cap
I'm just saying this the reason life's a bitch
They say crime don't pay but trap niggas getting rich
I keep falling can't falling can't keep my feet on the ground
On the ground
Are you gone keep it real when no one's around
Around
I remember before niggas was gang gang
On the same thang
Goin through poverty tryna maintain
But thangs chang
Tryna find a better life by chasing thangs that brang pain
Don't wanna lose friends but y'all never in the same Lane
There's a lot of shit u still don't believe
They keep telling u to pray but you can't get on yo knees
Cause all your life you was aiming to please
That shit build yo common sense and now you hard to deceive
