[Verse 1] Sarah codes compliance, twenty years of expertise Every regulation memorized, but leadership can't see They say she lacks the vision, needs strategic flair While Tom from Harvard waltzes in with buzzwords in the air [Chorus] Double standard masquerade Technical depth gets no parade MBA speak wins every round Real expertise gets pushed around Is it skill or just the game? Different rules, but who's to blame? [Verse 2] The critique cuts like winter wind, "not strategic enough" But who defined strategic? Who decides what's worthy stuff? Communication style becomes the measuring rod While substance takes backseat to presentation facade [Chorus] Double standard masquerade Technical depth gets no parade MBA speak wins every round Real expertise gets pushed around Is it skill or just the game? Different rules, but who's to blame? [Bridge] Two paths diverge before you now Mirror their language, learn somehow Or pack your bags, find culture true Where substance matters more than who [Verse 3] Ask yourself this question straight, no sugar-coating lies Is your strategy invisible or genuinely unwise? If wisdom hides in jargon gaps, then translation's key If culture clash runs deeper, time to find where you're free [Chorus] Double standard masquerade Technical depth gets no parade MBA speak wins every round Real expertise gets pushed around Know the difference, make your choice Learn their tongue or find your voice [Outro] Structural bias won't disappear But recognition might draw near Through visibility and care Make your contributions clear
