"Break the Mold" (A Rap for DISRUPT 5.0)Listen up, y'all, it's time to get woke
To the stories of women who've weathered each stroke
Filipina leaders, they're changing the game
Breaking barriers daily, they're rising to fame
(Chorus)DISRUPT 5.0, yeah, that's the name
Intersectionality is their claim to fame
Race, class, and gender, they've faced it all
But these women refuse to hit the wall
Verse 1:First-gen, second-gen, they came to succeed
Faced with stereotypes, but they paid no heed
In the corporate world, they're making their mark
Lighting up boardrooms that once were dark
They've got tales to tell, experiences to share
Of struggles and triumphs, of learning to dare
From poverty's grip to the executive suite
These women show strength that can't be beat
(Chorus)DISRUPT 5.0, yeah, that's the name
Intersectionality is their claim to fame
Race, class, and gender, they've faced it all
But these women refuse to hit the wall
Verse 2:To all the young hustlers, take note of this book
It's time to change how the world's gonna look
Diversity ain't just a box to check
It's about perspectives, so show some respect
For the DEI pros and the execs in suits
It's time to dig deep and examine your roots
These Filipina stories will open your eyes
To talent and wisdom you might otherwise miss
(Chorus)DISRUPT 5.0, yeah, that's the name
Intersectionality is their claim to fame
Race, class, and gender, they've faced it all
But these women refuse to hit the wall
Outro:So let's amplify voices, tear down the old ways
Create workplaces where everyone slays
DISRUPT 5.0 is the blueprint, you see
For a future where all can be truly free
