[Verse 1]
When building software from the ground up high
Don't bolt compliance on when deadlines fly
Start with requirements as your foundation stone
Make regulations part of code you own
Privacy by design not afterthought
Security woven in the way it ought
Data flows mapped before the first line's penned
Compliance patterns that you can defend

[Chorus]
Build it in, don't bolt it on
Reg compliance from day one
C-O-D-E with rules inside
Privacy, security, verified
Build it in, don't bolt it on
Make compliance your champion
First-class constraints that guide the way
Regulatory by design today

[Verse 2]
Architecture decisions shape what you can do
When GDPR meets your data flow through
Design your schemas with deletion in mind
Audit trails leaving breadcrumbs behind
Access controls in your service layer
Authentication as your trusty prayer
Business logic knows what's allowed to stay
Compliance rules have the final say

[Chorus]
Build it in, don't bolt it on
Reg compliance from day one
C-O-D-E with rules inside
Privacy, security, verified
Build it in, don't bolt it on
Make compliance your champion
First-class constraints that guide the way
Regulatory by design today

[Bridge]
Shift left your legal validation
Test compliance across the nation
Mock your regulators in the code
Verify you're on the righteous road
Documentation generated clean
Compliance posture can be seen
When auditors come knocking at your door
You're ready with your evidence and more

[Verse 3]
Microservices with compliance gates
Each service knows what it validates
Configuration drives your policy rules
Declarative compliance gives you tools
Version control for regulatory change
When new laws come you can rearrange
Automated checks in your pipeline flow
Compliance failures stop the show

[Chorus]
Build it in, don't bolt it on
Reg compliance from day one
C-O-D-E with rules inside
Privacy, security, verified
Build it in, don't bolt it on
Make compliance your champion
First-class constraints that guide the way
Regulatory by design today

[Outro]
From requirements gathering to deploy
Make compliance your faithful envoy
Architecture patterns that never bend
Regulatory by design until the end
