This song is literally the soundtrack to my life. @yasiinbey sang about life struggles. For the longest, I thought "Umi" was his mother's name. Turns out, it's actually Arabic for "mother." So, when he says, "My umi says 'Shine your light on the world. Shine your light for the world to see'", I thought "Wow. My mother tells me the same thing everyday!" Thanks @triple1girljj for being a light in my darkness. Happy mother's day! #MothersDay2019 #HappyMothersDay #YasiinBey #MosDef #MosDefQuotes #UmiSays #BlackOnBothSides #MyUmiSaysShineYourLightOnTheWorld #ShineYourLightForTheWorldToSee #MomBeLike #MommaBeLike #MamaBeLike #MomsOfInstagram #NowPlaying #Mood #MoodAF #MoodMuzik https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXSrecBvSi/?igshid=1crrtlsmm6pfq
