To have a person's back. Derived from military. Also serves well for people who grew up in the ghetto and not necessarily causing trouble purposefully. Also something your girlfriend might say if she needs to pee in public and is decent enough to find a nice tree

Keep six - meaning

To hang back and watch out for somebody when they are going into a potentially dangerous situation. As in before a large illegal transaction, or while conducting a robbery.

Has nothing to do with police being 5-0. Actually derived from military communications. When an infantry squad is moving, one member may be assigned to "watch the squad's 6", meaning their 6 o'clock (behind them).

Alright guys, there's supposed to be no guns inside the pool hall, so you stay out here and keep six for me. If I you hear shots or I'm not out in 20 minutes, come in blasting.
