(Verse 1)
C.I.S.S.P, C.E.H, and C.I.S.M too
So many letters, what's a hacker to do?
CompTIA, SANS, and ISACA's best
My wallet's empty from all these tests
(Chorus)
In this cyber maze, we're losing our way
Chasing papers while hackers play
Certificates hanging on the wall
But experience is worth more than them all
(Verse 2)
Boot camps promise skills in just a week
But real-world challenges make us feel weak
Online courses, webinars galore
Information overload, my brain is sore
(Chorus)
In this cyber maze, we're losing our way
Chasing papers while hackers play
Certificates hanging on the wall
But experience is worth more than them all
In this cyber maze
(Bridge)
We're drowning in acronyms and jargon
While attackers find a new bargain
All these courses can't replace
The wisdom gained in the workplace
(Verse 3)
So let's step away from the study guide
And dive into networks, hands-on, eyes wide
For in the trenches, that's where we'll learn
How to truly make attackers burn
(Chorus)
In this cyber maze, we're losing our way
Chasing papers while hackers play
Certificates hanging on the wall
But experience is worth more than them all
(Outro)
In this cyber world of constant change
Experience is our home range
Certs may open the first door
But it's practice that makes us soar (soar, soar)
