[Verse 1]
When building systems that can grow and change
There's wisdom in five principles we need to arrange
Each class should have one job to do
Single Responsibility will see you through
Don't mix the database with business rules
Keep them separate like different tools

[Chorus]
S-O-L-I-D, build it right the first time
Single job, Open closed, Liskov's way
Interface split, Depend on what's high
S-O-L-I-D, that's how systems stay alive

[Verse 2]
Open for extension, closed for modification
Add new features without breaking the foundation
When requirements shift and customers demand more
Don't rewrite the code you wrote before
Plugin architecture, strategy pattern too
New behavior flows right on through

[Chorus]
S-O-L-I-D, build it right the first time
Single job, Open closed, Liskov's way
Interface split, Depend on what's high
S-O-L-I-D, that's how systems stay alive

[Verse 3]
Substitution means your objects play nice
Child classes work without thinking twice
If it walks like a duck and talks the same
Parent's contract must remain
No surprises when you swap them out
That's what Liskov is about

[Bridge]
Split those interfaces, keep them small and clean
Don't force classes to implement what they've never seen
Depend on abstractions, not concrete things
High-level modules need stable wings

[Verse 4]
Interface segregation keeps it lean
Many small contracts, focused and clean
Dependency inversion flips the game
High-level code stays just the same
Inject what you need from the outside in
That's how flexible systems begin

[Chorus]
S-O-L-I-D, build it right the first time
Single job, Open closed, Liskov's way
Interface split, Depend on what's high
S-O-L-I-D, that's how systems stay alive

[Outro]
Five principles to guide your way
Building systems that will last each day
S-O-L-I-D foundations strong
Your architecture can't go wrong
