For lyrics, you should just transcribe the pronunciation, eg "six foot two".


I for one would impose metric... it may be harder to rap, but true talent steps up to a challenge...


"But I would walk 804 kilometres, And I would walk 804 more, Just to be the man who walks a 1,608 kilometres, To fall down at your door..."


It's so catchy! Perhaps: "16093.44 meters high" by "0.2286 meter nails"...


1.608 megametres :^)


The units are not spoken, but for clarity they should be notated in the lyrics.
