50/50 Lyrics

I saw him skating' down the street on his shorty skateboard He had a tattoo on his arm I think it said ride hard He always told me that he'd be the new skateboard king He said one day wait and see I'm gonna do a backside... concrete I saw him skating down the park he took that fall pretty hard A broken ankle shattered knee now who will be the king He always told me that he'd be the new skateboard king Now I guess we'll never see that frontside 50/50 Now I see him all the time But I never see that grind It must be hard to get around With no wheels on the ground A broken board and shattered dreams We salute you skateboard king A broken board and shattered dreams Ride hard skateboard king

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
