Gibson, who was once a member of a rap group called Triple Impact, released his self-titled debut music album, which went platinum, in 1998; his second album, 2000 Watts, shares the name of the organization he founded to help inner city children. Gibson was given the role originally intended for the late 2Pac Shakur in the 2001 film Baby Boy; the movie was a critical success and performed fairly at the box office. Gibson subsequently appeared in the 2003 box office success 2 Fast 2 Furious (opposite Paul Walker, with whom he formed a close friendship during filming), as well as Flight of the Phoenix (2004), Four Brothers (2005) and Annapolis (2006), co-starring James Franco. Gibson was picked as one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men of the Year in 2000.
Gibson has also established himself as a successful screenwriter, selling the pitches D.A. Verdict to MGM and Extortion to Universal Studios. In 2006, Gibson sold his first original spec script, To Each His Own, to Screen Gems. He is to star in and produce all of the films. Gibson has also created HQ Pictures, a television and film production company. He has hired Mike Le as VP of development & production to oversee and develop projects under the company’s banner.
Gibson prefers his music career to acting, but will focus on both areas. His third album is called Alter Ego, and featured both R&B and hip hop songs. He used an alias, “Black Ty”, for the rap tracks. Tyrese had a role in the Transformers movie, released July of 2007; the film’s director, Michael Bay, had Gibson in mind for the role before he was cast, and thus Gibson did not have to audition for the part.
Tyrese's fourth and latest album Open Invitation was released on November 1, 2011 in the US. It was preceeded by the single "Stay" which peaked on U.S. Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at number 11. The second single "Too Easy" features Ludacris and was released soon after.
I'm Home
Tyrese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saying that the game has been on pause
Since you left, you left, so let me press play
I'ma get the beats back rocking
And beds back knocking
You know who I be, who I be
Ladies, the wait is over here I am
Swags on the million
Ain't nobody else do what I do
I've been working but I gotta prove
Everywhere I go they're screaming out my name
I'm on my way
They say you be gone for a minute
Ain't nobody else did it like you did it
Well tell 'em I'm home
Tell 'em I'm home
Been back like I never left
If anybody asks 'bout me
Tell 'em that I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Tell 'em I'm home
Tell 'em I'm home
Been back like I never left
I'm home
I'm home
And I'm not going nowhere this time
Grab a couple of bottles and meet me on the stage
Everything is on me, we gonna celebrate
Ain't no place like this in the world
Been MIA so it was time to return
You can love it, hate it
But I'm staying
Ain't going no where, no where
I'm a going, going around you
Ain't nobody else do what I do
I've been working but I gotta prove
Everywhere I go they're screaming out my name
I'm on my way
They say you be gone for a minute
Ain't nobody else did it like you did it
Well tell 'em I'm home
Tell 'em I'm home
Been back like I never left
If anybody asks 'bout me
Tell 'em that I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Tell 'em I'm home
Tell 'em I'm home
Been back like I never left
First things first, I'm home, take your camera out
Jay rock, Tyrese why city jugging us?
Got no other choice to do a big monument
Pop bottles, with top models
Yeah we doing it
Haters can't ruin it
As said the well zone
Dropped my first album, power moves from the cell phone
Show here, show there
For show I got my money out
World wide groupie love, they always keep that ass up
Ty bet put the hood on the map, yeah
All this music shit, the whole hood got your back, black
Now we on the track
Together we gonna bubble
Worldwide soundtrack for the streets, they're gonna love it
They say you be gone for a minute
Ain't nobody else did it like you did it
Well tell 'em I'm home
Tell 'em I'm home
Been back like I never left
If anybody asks 'bout me
Tell 'em that I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Tell 'em I'm home
Tell 'em I'm home
Been back like I never left
I just wanna say thank you to all my fans
Who kept my music alive
You never gave your heart away to anybody else
I just appreciate you
I'm here to stay
I'm home
