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
