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.

Tyrese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you're hurt so I won't beg you to stay, no
You know as well as I do that girl I really love you
And I wouldn't last a day if you ever ever left me
Girl don't take this the wrong way, I'm not begging you to stay
But the truth is
If you ever leave I would be, I would be helpless
I'm like a sea, sea without a beach
What would I be, tell me?
Is it worth nights with no sleep, bed with cold sheets
Waking up without me, baby
I don't wanna see what that would be
So please, baby don't leave
I'm feeling anxious now 'cause it could go either way
If I'm honest with myself girl, got me feeling real crazy
And I know I played a part, and them games is kinda [?] baby
And I wouldn't last a day if you ever ever left me
Girl don't take this the wrong way, I'm not begging you to stay
But the truth is
If you ever leave I would be, I would be helpless
You would be, you be hopeless
I'm like a sea, sea without a beach
What would I be, tell me?
Is it worth nights with no sleep, bed with cold sheets
Waking up without me, baby
I don't wanna see what that would be
So please, baby don't leave
Now I know that I may not have the right words to say
But my actions don't lie, can't you see I'm changing everyday baby
The further that you go away, the more this heart's gon' break
No I wouldn't last a day if you ever ever left me
So don't take this the wrong way, I'm not begging you to stay
But the truth is if you ever leave
If you ever leave I would be, I would be helpless
You would be, you be hopeless
Like a sea, sea without a beach
What would I be, tell me?
Is it worth nights with no sleep, bed with cold sheets
Waking up without me, baby
I don't wanna see what that would be
So please, baby don't leave
'Cause I can't do it without you
Just the thought of rolling over and you're not there
Drives me crazy baby
Baby baby
