[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
