Official Lyrics

(As published on Genius under “The Academic Boardroom”)

[Intro]

Welcome back to our table. You are tuned in with Dr. J & Dr. E. Pull up a chair, and listen in.

[Verse]

For ten years, she swept these floors while working the night shift

Her potential hidden right behind a janitor’s outfit

Her mother’s crisis sparked a fire deep in her soul

To advocate for patients and to reach a brand-new goal

 

She studied biology by day, then cleaned up the hospital

Defeating every doubt when they said it was impossible

Though doors kept closing hard on her, and testing took its toll

At Howard College of Medicine, her spirit was made whole

 

That viral match day letter brought her back home to where she starts

Returning as a physician with a compassionate heart

She will build a bridge for workers who are overlooked each day

Now walking these same familiar halls, a brand-new doctor’s way

Podcast Score Summary

This moving song tells the story of Dr Shay Taylor-Allen’s remarkable journey from a janitor to a doctor. The lyrics capture her struggles as someone who, despite sweeping the floors of the hospital at night, harbored great ambition hidden behind her janitorial work. Motivated by a personal family crisis, her ambition turned into a fierce determination to study biology during the day and complete the rigorous training to treat patients at Howard University College of Medicine.

The song is a critique of the socio-economic mobility that portrays how Dr Taylor-Allen overcame the institutional barriers that kept her in the shadows. Her triumph on Match Day was a moment of coming back to the place she used to clean now as a physician.

This song shows Dr Shay’s story as a framework for workplace advocacy. Walking the same hospital corridors with a doctor’s spirit and sympathy towards the workers in multiple roles, she builds the connection between the unnoticed workers and the upper class within organizations.
