[Verse 1]
Straits of Malacca squeeze the pipeline tight
Seventy percent of chips sail through that gate
When tensions flare, the packets disappear
Alternative routes add months to your freight
Taiwan foundries hold the silicon crown
Ninety-two percent advanced nodes reside
But geopolitical storms could shut them down
Your substitution plan becomes your guide
[Chorus]
Map the exits, count the cost
Time to pivot when pathways are lost
Alternatives ready, migration planned
Chokepoints crumble when you understand
Five escape routes, five backup schemes
Resilience built, not broken dreams
[Verse 2]
Rare earth metals from a single source
China controls the magnets in your drives
Diversify before you're off course
Australia and Canada keep hope alive
Cloud regions concentrated in three zones
Virginia, Oregon, and Ireland's shore
When fiber cables snap or weather zones
Your apps need mirrors on another floor
[Chorus]
Map the exits, count the cost
Time to pivot when pathways are lost
Alternatives ready, migration planned
Chokepoints crumble when you understand
Five escape routes, five backup schemes
Resilience built, not broken dreams
[Bridge]
Suez Canal or Cape of Good Hope
DNS roots in fourteen spots
Energy grids with narrow scope
Connect redundant data plots
[Verse 3]
Substitution matrices tell the tale
Cost per terabyte, weeks to deploy
Primary vendors might stumble and fail
Secondary options you must employ
Time-to-exit calculations clear
Three months for databases to migrate
Eighteen weeks for manufacturing gear
Don't let bottlenecks seal your fate
[Chorus]
Map the exits, count the cost
Time to pivot when pathways are lost
Alternatives ready, migration planned
Chokepoints crumble when you understand
Five escape routes, five backup schemes
Resilience built, not broken dreams
[Outro]
Every single point of failure mapped
Backup vendors already contracted
When the unexpected leaves others trapped
Your systems keep running, architectures intact
