"KEEP OUR *** TOGUETER"

Hello,
here I come with an expression I have read on a Miles Davis's book about his life:
'My father was a strict man when it came to discipline. He made us all aware that we had to KEEP OUR SHIT TOGETHER'
I think I understand what does mean, but not exactly and I'm not sure enough.
Could someone explain it to me?
Thanks in advance, jo.
