His last name is White and he was born black Freddy is good as they come, always got your back His last name is Black and he was born white Kenny is faithful and loyal, always stands for the right Now those two been best friends since the playground, they both scraped elbows They met when the school nurse told them, "You must be blood bros" I won't let you down, I won't let you down You are my friend, that's to the end Wherever we go I'll lift you up, I'll lift you up I've got skin in the game cause our blood is the same Don't you know That's all that matters They went from Little League Baseball to Friday Night Lights They're baggin' groceries at Mo's, flippin' burgers at Ike's And before you know it, "Marry me." Have a child or two or three Kenny joined the police academy The table needs food, the kids need new shoes, oh well Freddy buckled down and got his CDL This 'ole life keeps challenging the thickness of their skin They pass the test with flying colors That Sickle Cell thing attacked Freddy, we thought he's a goner Kenny stepped up and became his bone marrow donor I won't let you down, I won't let you down You are my friend, that's to the end Wherever we go I'll lift you up, I'll lift you up I've got skin in the game cause our blood is the same Don't you know That's all that matters Freddy White drove long-haul over the road And grew faint of the long, white line Till he finally landed a driving job in the city Kenny Black is the finest in rank and file Holds in virtue the thin, blue line Walks his beat with a rhythm always willing and ready It was a night like no other in 'ole Big D Freddy drove a packed bus right down to the scene El Centro was alive with all kinds of chatter Some were chanting to a cop that their black lives matter Kenny say, "Well of course you matter, that's correct" "I'm not here to protest that, just to protect" All the sudden shots rang out, a flurry from above In an instant, Kenny lie there in a puddle of his blood Freddy saw it and ran against chaos to be by his friend's side Kenny yelled to him, "Get outta' here, man, run, go save your own life" But with his very life as a barricade Freddy dragged his dear friend away I won't let you down, I won't let you down You are my friend that's to the end Wherever we go I'll lift you up, I'll lift you up I've got skin in the game cause our blood is the same Don't you know I won't put you down, I won't put you down You are my friend that's to the end Wherever we go I'll raise you up, I'll raise you up I've got skin in the game cause our blood is the same Don't you know That's all that matters His last name is White and he was born black Freddy is good as they come, always got your back
