[Verse 1: Ben Schuller]

What is war without the peace that can't contain it

What is peace without the beast that needs restraining

What's the old without the new who will replace it

And what's the new without the old who tries to train him

[Chorus: Ben Schuller & NemRaps]

One step at a time

You gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through yeah

The story of our lives

You never know when you're gonna go, coming after you yeah

Just a simple crime

The games we're playing

Behind the mastermind

You gotta do what you gotta do

Behind the mastermind

[Verse 2: Ben Schuller]

What is greed without a victim to possess

What's a heart beat without it's only chest

Why do we say in this world we're living

How do we get through this day, we're killing

[Chorus: Ben Schuller & NemRaps]

One step at a time

You gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through yeah

The story of our lives

You never know when you're gonna go, coming after you yeah

Just a simple crime

The games we're playing

Behind the mastermind

You gotta do what you gotta do

Behind the mastermind

[Verse 3: NemRaps]

Franklin is a peacemaker

Michael is a heart breaker

Trevor is a life taker

L.S. is a game shaker

FIB can go away

Weston's got some debts to pay

Mister Cheng, I feel betrayed

Please Strech, let's see the stains

Everybody, leave us be

Or watch the bloody river stream

You ever come to cross our path

Everybody, leave us be

Or watch the bloody river stream

You ever come to cross our path

Get ready to feel the wrath

[Chorus: Ben Schuller & NemRaps]

One step at a time

You gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through yeah

The story of our lives

You never know when you're gonna go, coming after you yeah

Just a simple crime

The games we're playing

Behind the mastermind

You gotta do what you gotta do

One step at a time

The story of our lives

It's just a simple crime

Behind the mastermind
