After releasing several albums, he transitioned into films, with lead roles in several Hollywood releases including Baby Boy, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Four Brothers, Waist Deep, Death Race, Transformers and Fast Five.

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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl I remember the feeling your love gave me
It used to put my hard times at ease babe
My wind stay ? you are such a sweet lady
You gave the birds a new song to sing, baby
Now your love ain't what it used to be
I wish you never changed

And I really miss her, I really miss her

Tell me where would I be without you?
I really miss you, uh, I could feel it in my soul
I really miss her
She's the only right left in my world
And I really miss her
Yeah I miss that girl

So many moments, from your words I found peace
Yeah that's what you give to me, baby
I still hear your voice when
You're not with me
Give me some sweet memories, yes you
Now your love ain't what it used to be
I wish you never changed

And I really miss her, I really miss her
Tell me where would I be without you?
I really miss you, uh, I could feel it in my soul
I really miss her
She's the only right left in my world
And I really miss her
Yeah I miss that girl

Come back to me, I need your love
I need your,
Did you just ? me to sing, oh
Baby come back to me

I really miss her, I really miss her
Tell me where would I be without you?
I really miss you, uh, I could feel it in my soul
I really miss her
She's the only right left in my world

And I really miss her
Yeah I miss that girl.
