Album Title
The album's title, On the 6, is a reference to the 6 subway line in New York City, which Lopez used to commute to work in Manhattan from her home in The Bronx during the early years of her career. Lopez said that she hoped On the 6 would appeal to people like her, saying: "English is my first language. I grew up here. I was born here, I didn't have a career in Spanish first. I think it appeals definitely to my generation of people, we grew up in America but had Latin parents or parents of different ethnicity."

“What a long strange trip it’s been.”
—Robert Hunter, U.S. rock lyricist. “Truckin’,” on the Grateful Dead album American Beauty (1971)
“Down the road, on the right hand, on Brister’s Hill, lived Brister Freeman, “a handy Negro,” slave of Squire Cummings once.... Not long since I read his epitaph in the old Lincoln burying-ground, a little on one side, near the unmarked graves of some British grenadiers who fell in the retreat from Concord,—where he is styled “Sippio Brister,”MScipio Africanus he had some title to be called,—”a man of color,” as if he were discolored.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
