Lyrics

  1. Yo, boardroom lights, hierarchy stacked,
  2. From the top of the tower to the data we track.
  3. Climb it, define it, align it nonstop,
  4. Talkin’ roles, talkin’ flow, we RACY to the top.
  5. At the peak sits the board with the vision so clear,
  6. They don’t dig in the weeds, but they steer the frontier.
  7. Trajectory set, CEO they choose,
  8. Mission in motion, no time to lose.
  9. Govern, decide, they set the tone,
  10. Every ripple drops down from the corporate throne.
  11. R – Responsible, doin’ the task,
  12. A – Accountable, classification, unmask.
  13. C – Consulted, opinions in play,
  14. I – Informed, hear it every day.
  15. Board to the floor, no pause, no stop,
  16. We chart it, we rap it, RACY to the top.
  17. Step down the chain, senior brass in the game,
  18. Strategy, budget, they’re callin’ by name.
  19. CEO pointin’, CFO signs,
  20. COO hustlin’, keepin’ in line.
  21. They own all data, they own all risk,
  22. Strategic decisions, can’t be missed.
  23. From cyber to finance, the stakes are steep,
  24. Their accountability runs soul-deep.
  25. R – Responsible, doin’ the task,
  26. A – Accountable, culpability unmasked.
  27. C – Consulted, the voices in play,
  28. I – Informed, keep the updates each day.
  29. From the board to the floor, we rise, don’t drop,
  30. We grind with the chart, we RACY to the top.
  31. CISO in the spot with the cyber blade,
  32. Digital field where the battles are laid.
  33. Policies, controls, incidents ring,
  34. Guardin’ crown jewels, defendin’ the king.
  35. Accountable for threats that you can’t quite see,
  36. Risk meets biz, that’s the mastery.
  37. ISM on the ground, yo they keep it alive,
  38. Managing the squads, makin’ sure they drive.
  39. Assess, patch, fixin’ the flaws,
  40. Policies lived, not just writ in the laws.
  41. But strategy calls need a higher decree,
  42. So they bring their plans to the steering committee.
  43. ISM consults, but the power’s above,
  44. Committee approves the strategy shove.
  45. Now the committee says okay,
  46. ISM blows that risk away.
  47. Deploy the strategy, milestones in sight,
  48. Current state turns desired tonight.
  49. Data flows steady, every action tracked,
  50. Who signs, who checks, who’s got your back?
  51. The RACY grid, a web of trust,
  52. No clear roles? The system’s dust.
  53. R – Responsible, hands on the line,
  54. A – Accountable, classification sign.
  55. C – Consulted, advice in the ring,
  56. I – Informed, gotta know everything.
  57. Boardroom high to the basement shop,
  58. We spit it, we grind it, RACY to the top.
  59. Hierarchy set, no roles left vague,
  60. Data plus duty, the path we pave.
  61. Mapped it, charted, defined nonstop,
  62. That’s the business climb—RACY to the top.
