[Intro, soft synth pad with warm piano] [Verse 1, gentle and building] She stood up in the weekly sync With fifteen items on the board Said, "We can build the dashboard new Or ship the thing that matters more" They smiled and said, "Just do them both" Like midnight oil was free to burn She walked back to her tired team And wondered when they'd ever learn [Pre-Chorus] Something's gotta give tonight Draw the line or lose the fight [Chorus] Put it on the stack rank Name the one you'd let go Every yes you gave away Was someone's quiet no Put it on the stack rank Hold it up against the light If you can't say what you're cutting Then you haven't chosen right [Verse 2, warmer, more confident] He got the email — just a "?" About a screw you couldn't find He could have laughed it off and moved But something pulled him to the blind He dug through every search result And found the pattern underneath It wasn't screws — it was everything Without a name to hold its teeth [Pre-Chorus] Something's gotta give tonight Name the cost or lose the fight [Chorus, variation] Put it on the stack rank What's above and what's below Every yes you gave away Was someone else's slow Put it on the stack rank Say it plain, don't dress it up "We can do this thing or that thing— Tell me which one fills your cup" [Bridge, intimate, stripped back] She wrote the features out as songs Mapped them to the Billboard charts "Metered billing-oh-na-na" Cringe — but no one forgot their parts Repetition doesn't spoil the prayer Say it 'til the hallways know The best PMs aren't the ones who build it all They're the ones who learn to let things go [Chorus, full arrangement, release] Put it on the stack rank Line by line, what matters most Every yes you gave away Was a future you let go Put it on the stack rank One more time before we close We only had to do the one thing— God, the freedom that it chose [Outro, piano and voice] Stack rank... stack rank... Name the one you'd let go
