about

‘Mind the Gap’ is a powerful anthem on gender inequality and female empowerment, supporting current global women’s movements. Maya Rose delivers the story of her experience as a female musician with her smooth soulful voice and strong lyrics, combining 90s R&B with Sade influenced pop/jazz, and a reggae groove.

lyrics

Verse 1
He be out here doing things different
He get away with so much more
He don’t have to dress up before leaving the door
I wonder what I do it for
He be out here making more than me
Even though I work just as hard
If you see me smiling at him
Doesn’t mean I wanna get it on

Pre Chorus
I’m good on my own babe
But let’s just be fair
He should know a thing or two
About what it’s like for me, on the daily
Cause something missing here

Chorus
The gap is getting wider between us
How we gonna fill the gap?
You need to see this for what it is
Cause we’re still not equal yet
He’s making decisions for me
He’s leaving me out
He won’t get away with it
The gap is getting wider between us
How we gonna close the gap?

Verse 2
I don’t need his approval
I’m chill if he don’t like what he see
He’s wasting his time telling me
Advice that I really don’t need
There’s too many double standards
If it were him he wouldn’t let it go
Baby if you’re satisfied, think of me
It doesn’t mean I’m happy too

Pre Chorus
I’m good on my own babe
But let’s just be fair
He should know a thing or two
About what it’s like for me, on the daily
Cause something missing here

Chorus
The gap is getting wider between us
How we gonna fill the gap?
You need to see this for what it is
Cause were still not equal yet
He’s making decisions for me
He’s leaving me out
He won’t get away with it
The gap is getting wider between us
How we gonna close the gap?

Bridge
I’m done feeling small
Done being polite
I won’t be quiet about it
I’m gonna be strong
Gonna be proud
I won’t be quiet about it

Chorus
The gap is getting wider between us
How we gonna fill the gap?
You need to see this for what it is
Cause were still not equal yet
He’s making decisions for me
He’s leaving me out
He won’t get away with it
The gap is getting wider between us
How we gonna, how we gonna close the gap?
