Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Day one walking through the boardroom door
Numbers dancing on the revenue floor
Products shipping, customers paying bills
This machine has gears and you need those skills
Not the frameworks that you memorized
But the heartbeat of how profit flies

[Chorus]
It's not about you, it's the business view
Listen first before you build it through
Understand the money, guard what matters most
Security serves, don't play the host
Trade-offs spinning, priorities clash
Know their world before you make your splash

[Verse 2]
CEO sees dollar signs and market share
Board members counting costs with careful stare
Leading with your headcount shopping list
Sounds like budget drain they can't dismiss
Credibility grows when you can see
How cyber threats touch their reality

[Chorus]
It's not about you, it's the business view
Listen first before you build it through
Understand the money, guard what matters most
Security serves, don't play the host
Trade-offs spinning, priorities clash
Know their world before you make your splash

[Bridge]
Revenue engines need protection schemes
But first decode their operational dreams
What breaks their sales? What stops production?
Map the risks to business function

[Verse 3]
Ninety days to prove you comprehend
How security can defend and extend
Tools and frameworks come in phase two
First show them that you see what they do
When you speak their language of the ledger
You become their trusted cyber hedger

[Final Chorus]
It's not about you, it's the business view
Listen first before you build it through
Understand the money, guard what matters most
Security serves, don't play the host
Prove you know how money flows each day
Then they'll trust your program all the way

[Outro]
Business first, then build what fits
That's the code that never quits
