Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pentagon contracts cascade downward through the chain
CMMC Level Two demands your vendors do the same
No more handshakes with suppliers who can't prove their game
Third-party risk assessment separates wheat from grain

[Chorus]
Flow it down, lock it tight
SCRM controls at every site
Tier One tells Tier Two
What Tier Two must push right through
Document the vendor screen
Map the critical fourteen
Flow it down, make it stick
Supply chain armor thick

[Verse 2]
Small shops scramble when the prime contractor calls
"Show me how you guard the data behind your firewall walls"
System Security Plans must cover vendor halls
One weak link in cyberspace and the whole mission stalls

[Chorus]
Flow it down, lock it tight
SCRM controls at every site
Tier One tells Tier Two
What Tier Two must push right through
Document the vendor screen
Map the critical fourteen
Flow it down, make it stick
Supply chain armor thick

[Bridge]
Controlled Unclassified Information travels deep
Through subcontractors who must earn the right to keep
Federal contract data while they manufacture steep
Requirements for compliance that make accountants weep

[Verse 3]
Due diligence questionnaires probe supplier bones
Risk registers capture threats in standardized zones
Incident response procedures for breach-damaged phones
Supply chain transparency down to microphone components

[Final Chorus]
Flow it down, lock it tight
SCRM controls at every site
Tier One tells Tier Two
What Tier Two must push right through
Document the vendor screen
Map the critical fourteen
Flow it down, make it stick
Supply chain armor thick
Defense depends on every link
