The accompanying music video for 'Tyrone' shows Badu performing the song live. Internationally, 'Tyrone' charted only in the Netherlands, where it debuted at number 95 on the Dutch Single Top 100 and peaked at number 19 in its sixth week, charting for a total of 15 weeks. The song debuted at number 39 on the Rhythmic Top 40, peaking at number 24 in its third week and spending a total of six weeks on the chart. It fared better on the urban charts, peaking atop the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and becoming her third number-one on the chart. It peaked at number 62 on the US Radio Songs, spending five weeks on the chart. So with my God-given talents, I’m trying to motivate and inspire excellence.'Tyrone' did not receive a commercial release in the United States, hence it was ineligible to enter the US Billboard Hot 100, as Billboard 's rules at the time did not allow airplay-only songs to enter the main charts. I believe I was put here to do something excellent in this world. He continued: “This song is about unifying as a culture. “United we stand I’m talking Unity divided we fall/ Change the narrative to help the people evolve/To the younger generation show them what’s real/ They’re popping them pills popping in clips looking to kill/ 9 o’clock on the dot a Glock nine was popped / Watch the news in the morning somebody’s son was shot/ Somebody’s mom in shock, it’s an ongoing cycle/ Makes you want to go home and open a bible/ Drop your face in your hands trying to understand/ A young king killed can’t be a part of God’s plan/ Damn, he was just in the club throwing some bands/ Barely 21 he was just becoming a man/ Imagine if the hood unified we can do it we got to start with you and I/ Then it multiply/ Put the nines down put the two fingers up/ Can’t let people self-destruct,” he raps in the first verse.
