[Verse 1] Sarah storms the morning meeting, armed with slides and passion bright But the deal was struck last Thursday, sealed in corridors of might While she burned her midnight oil, crafting perfect arguments The executives were golfing, making choices she'd resent [Chorus] Read the room before you charge, save your energy and time Pick your battles, guard your coins, spend them when the stars align Build a track record that shines, earn the right to raise your voice When the moment's ripe for pushing, they'll listen to your choice [Verse 2] Marcus questions every detail, fights each comma, dot and space His suggestions fall on deaf ears, frustration marks his face But when Sarah speaks they listen, 'cause she's proven ten times through That her instincts spot the problems that would otherwise slip through [Chorus] Read the room before you charge, save your energy and time Pick your battles, guard your coins, spend them when the stars align Build a track record that shines, earn the right to raise your voice When the moment's ripe for pushing, they'll listen to your choice [Bridge] Political winds are blowing, some decisions carved in stone High impact, still reversible, that's where you plant your throne Capital is precious, reputation takes years to grow Choose your moments carefully, let wisdom guide the flow [Verse 3] Emma scans the architecture, spots a flaw that cuts too deep Database design decisions that will make the system weep She's earned her stripes through victories, her warnings ring like bells The team stops their momentum when her cautionary voice swells [Chorus] Read the room before you charge, save your energy and time Pick your battles, guard your coins, spend them when the stars align Build a track record that shines, earn the right to raise your voice When the moment's ripe for pushing, they'll listen to your choice [Outro] Some specs are set in concrete, make them beautiful and strong But when the stakes are highest, prove them right or prove them wrong
