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 ↴
I feel your pain baby
I never thought I had to ever be
Without you in my life
Oh no
I know I was wrong
For taking you for granted oh no
By getting out your life
I've been doing you wrong
So you gotta get on with yours
You get yours
And I'll I'll get mine
Baby you get yours and I'll get mine
You get yours
And I'll I'll get mine
(I know I'll get mine)
I'll see you going out your way to call
Don't waste your time baby
Obviously you have made the wrong choice
Getting with me
So you got to let it go baby
I know I was wrong
For taking you for granted oh no
I want to do you a favor
By getting out your life babe
You gotta let it go
You get yours
And I'll I'll get mine baby
You get yours and I'll get mine
You get yours
And I'll I'll get mine
(I know I'll get mine)
Your too good for me
You deserve better
Maybe this wasn't meant to be
There's no need to work this out
You and me you got to let it go babe
You get yours
And I'll I'll get mine
(I know I'll get mine)
Baby you get yours and I'll I'll get mine
In the song "You Get Yours" by Tyrese, the singer expresses remorse and regret for taking his partner for granted. He acknowledges that he has caused her pain and wants to do her a favor by ending their relationship and letting her move on. He also recognizes that she deserves better than him and encourages her to "get hers" while he gets his own life together. The lyrics are filled with feelings of guilt, regret, and longing for a second chance.
Looking into his partner's eyes, Tyrese can sense her pain, and he realizes that he has been taking her for granted, causing her to become miserable. He admits to his wrongdoing and now wants to save her further pain by ending the relationship. In the chorus of the song, he tells her to "get hers" and that he will "get his." This implies that he is willing to let her move on without him while he sorts out his issues.
Tyrese encourages her to let it go and move on with her life without him. He acknowledges that she deserves someone better than him, and perhaps it was not meant to be. The song reflects the remorse and regret that one feels when they've hurt someone they love, but it's time to let them go so they can live their life.
