[Verse 1] Maria built a fortress, controls so tight and clean Mapped every protocol, the finest ever seen But when she told the boardroom "mapping exercise complete" They nodded once and filed it, her triumph turned retreat [Chorus] Translation imperative, speak their native tongue Strategy gets buried when the message comes out wrong Same brilliant work, different words you choose Translation imperative, that's how victories break through [Verse 2] Take that dual-use framework, SOC2 meets CMMC Don't call it documentation, call it architecture spree "We've built a force multiplier, one system serves us twice Compliance costs just halved while security rolled the dice" [Chorus] Translation imperative, speak their native tongue Strategy gets buried when the message comes out wrong Same brilliant work, different words you choose Translation imperative, that's how victories break through [Bridge] Not spin, not politics, not dumbing down the plan Communication craftsmanship, help them understand Your control framework genius needs executive translation Bridge the gap between your mind and corporate conversation [Verse 3] Technical professionals learn every rule by heart But never learn the language that sets their work apart The same report delivered in boardroom vocabulary Transforms from boring checklist to visionary strategy [Chorus] Translation imperative, speak their native tongue Strategy gets buried when the message comes out wrong Same brilliant work, different words you choose Translation imperative, that's how victories break through [Outro] Render compliance thinking in formats they recognize Your strategic contributions deserve strategic prize
