Lyrics
Listen close as I tell you all the tale
How ISACA got ya boy ready to prevail
I always had a feeling that my future was bright
And thanks to ISACA, yessir, I’m prepped for the fight
My path, it wasn’t clear, for career now what would I
Do? I’ve had a good eye for tech since a foot-high
Challenges are a must, that’s how my brain works
Almost stymied, until I tried better frameworks
What new career will I choose to make a difference?
Cyber crime, risk and audit amongst my interests
Pen testing, beyond me, it ain’t a question
I need to find a mentor, distributing a lesson
Or even reinforce what I already knew
Changed my life for the better, they can do it for you
From CISM to CGEIT an IT’s delight
Now my future’s got the green light!
ISACA, pursuing digital trust
ISACA, when progression’s a must
ISACA, realize my purpose and promise
And if I can be honest
A new era’s upon us
ISACA, pursuing digital trust
ISACA, when progression’s a must
ISACA, realize my purpose and promise
And if I can be honest
A new era’s upon us
CISA, gain the knowledge used to audit, control
Monitor the data flow, then assess what’s known
Take that info, and use it to improve, and hone
Only the first cert, but man I’m feeling right in the zone
Next up, looks like CRISC, I really wanna see this
Trained so I can see risk, in enterprise arenas
Where others can’t see it, don’t focus on the surface
But what’s beneath it, reaching the next cert in sequence
CISM, an acronym, and mechanism
For a managerial application of synergism
Through program development, security, and governance
The skills companies covet, so you better come with it
CGEIT, earned by those with knowledge and the foresight
Designing, implementing and setting the course right
This for executives and experts
Better know ISACA can help you if you put in the work
ISACA, pursuing digital trust
ISACA, when progression’s a must
ISACA, realize my purpose and promise
And if I can be honest
A new era’s upon us
ISACA, pursuing digital trust
ISACA, when progression’s a must
ISACA, realize my purpose and promise
And if I can be honest
A new era’s upon us
Now that I’ve got what I need, I’m like a new soul
No more cruise control, it’s beast mode
When I started at bronze, made sure that I reviewed
Studied hard in my field, made sure that I renewed
Now I’m iller at silver, I stand and deliver
My certs are arrows in my knowledge quiver, a sliver of time
And I’m at gold, take hold of the controls
There isn’t any maximum, even after platinum
I won’t stop the stratagem, made it this far
From a new member, to the latest IT star
For real! I know didn’t rise alone
Props to ISACA for helping me reach the throne
Employers worldwide impressed with what I’ve shown
With a network of hundreds of thousands across the globe
But yo, I’ll never forget, ISACA for the dream
I contribute for life, forever part of the team
ISACA, pursuing digital trust
ISACA, when progression’s a must
ISACA, realize my purpose and promise
And if I can be honest
A new era’s upon us
ISACA, pursuing digital trust
ISACA, when progression’s a must
ISACA, realize my purpose and promise
And if I can be honest
A new era’s upon us
