Nov 19, 2009 - Umi is "homie" for friend for bro' for people your living with everydays.. he means, "my friends says that life is short, i could die right now and not have the time to see tomorrow, so i have to live for the moment" that's what i understand in this song.

vlipford Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - Greetings, Umi means "Mother" in Arabic. Many of us Muslims call our mothers Umi. I've seen previous meanings of Umi above in the comments and their meanings are incorrect. But it's okay. We are students for life and may we continue to learn and grow as long as we have life.

Nov 20, 2009 - I agree with you my nigga however you left out education. I was speaking in reference to black people awaking our subconscious to the deceptive trick that the status quo want us to remain inferior.
