Lyrics

  1. You signed in from a sketchy café
  2. Said “It’s safe — I use a VPN”
  3. You bypassed the MFA
  4. Like it’s just a speed bump again
  5. Told me I could trust you
  6. Said you’d never lie
  7. But your IP changed twice
  8. While you looked me in the eye
  9. Isn’t it zero trust?
  10. Never trust, always verify
  11. You said you were secure
  12. But your traffic don't comply
  13. You escalated privileges
  14. In the middle of the night
  15. Isn’t it zero trust?
  16. When everything feels like a fight
  17. I set the rules, I locked the ports
  18. Segmented love to keep it tight
  19. You tried to laterally move
  20. Through a message at midnight
  21. Said “baby, just whitelist me”
  22. I said “least privilege or leave”
  23. You called me paranoid
  24. I call it good policy
  25. Isn’t it zero trust?
  26. Every session must expire
  27. You exploited old emotions
  28. Now I audit what I desire
  29. You tunneled through my feelings
  30. Then blamed the firewall's height
  31. Isn’t it zero trust?
  32. If I blacklist you tonight
  33. I revoked the certs
  34. I killed the keys
  35. No more implicit authority
  36. From now on it’s logs and control
  37. No more soft spots in my soul
  38. Isn’t it zero trust?
  39. You say I locked you out too soon
  40. But I won't take the risk
  41. For a charming threat in bloom
  42. I shut down every channel
  43. You can’t brute-force your way back in
  44. Isn’t it zero trust?
  45. When I finally win
