Help me with The Way I Am book translation, please.

[MinM]

Hey there
Friends, I need some help from people who knows american language well, i mean the slang part, and some from people who's got the book.
I'm trying to translate the book to russian for more people to read it. Cuz we ain't got it here in Russia, Belarus and etc.
i only got the scans that are on forum DL section. as i know - that's not the full book. but that's not the point rght now.
so people, who want and are able to help (i'ma put any link you want and ofcourse your name as a parttaker of translation), please.
1st question i have:
what does that mean:
"He was constantly keeping me on my Ps and Qs"

[RealSickLindley]

To me it means keeping good manners, watching what you say.

[MinM]

yeah, maybe. here's the context, maybe another sence? :



and one more thing:
i have not much free time on it and i know a bit of slang too. so this thread won't be like "super active one" but still sometimes i will really need some help

[Slimm]

I think it means he kept him on his best, so he wouldnt slack a minute.

[MinM]

I think it means he kept him on his best, so he wouldnt slack a minute.

that make sence, thanx

next:


does that mean he was standin' on Ronnie's way or on the driveway to Ronnie's house or smth?

and one more, what's Confidant? "Hip-hop became my girl, my confidant, my best homie"

[BILI]

Kind of off topic but...is the book any good? Because from what I read (what you posted) it looks pretty good.

Books dope

[MinM]

it means he was standing on the driveway to ronnies house.

Thanx use it.

[MinM]

and what does Apollo mean here :
Hip Hop Shop was like the Apollo - you could get booed out of there quicker then shit if you weren't paying attention.
