#MotivationMondays | Sometimes You Gotta Get Knocked Down to Get Up

/

This week I am giving you words to motivate you and music to keep you moving along.

Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against the Wall) by Mystikal has been on my "Steady On My Grind" playlist for years. Giving me the inspiration and good vibes I need, when I feel low, tired, and done.  The song has a great message about being able to overcome setbacks, failure, and self-doubt, along with a New Orleans bounce-filled, jazzy beat (Note: This song has no explicit language, so it is work and kid friendly).

My favorite lines from the song are:

"So if you ain't ready you better get ready/

I know I do it better when I'm being opposed/

Ah stick ya chest out, keep your chin up/

'Cause sometimes you gotta get knocked down to get up/

You keep bumping me against the wall/Yeah I know I let you slide before/But until you seen me trust me/You ain't seen bouncin' back"
