Tyrese has gone from singing on the train to singing on the bus. In his latest public effort to promote his final solo album, Black Rose, Tyrese took to a New York City bus. Belting out the track, “Shame,” the singer/actor/semi-professional public transportation performer gave a nostalgia-inducing reenactment of his famous 1994 Coca-Cola commercial.

“Sometimes you just gotta take em back to where it ALL STARTED!!!!!! 20 years ago…. I took this ride and it changed my life forever – to God be ALL the Glory…,” he wrote.

At the end of his short performance, Tyrese also offered up a few of his now-signature inspirational words, encouraging viewers to follow their dreams.

“It’s okay to be a dreamer. It’s okay to think big. It’s okay to dream beyond your reality. It’s alright. God bless our world,” he said. “Black Rose, I’m gonna rest until it’s No. 1 on Billboard R&B, No. 1 on the Top 200. It’s okay to dream big, remember that. One love.”
