It is very hard to tell from this unclear picture. The white bump can be related to trauma like chewing on the lip .

This photo is not diagnostic. You need to see a professional to evaluate and biopsy if indicated.
You will have to get it examined at a dental office to know for sure. The possibilities could range from trauma (lip bite), a cyst, clogged saliva gland, or something more ominous like cancer. You will not know for sure until you get it looked at.
Your picture is not detailed enough to provide you a solid answer. White bumps on your lips could be many things. The area needs to be looked at closely to provide you an answer.
These types of occurrences are frequently ectopic salivary glads or traumatic fibromas. In any case, it is necessary to have this evaluated by your healthcare professional.
Hope this is helpful.
