I ignore your aura but it grabbed me by the hand
Like the moon pulled the tide and the tide pulled the sand

from Mary J. Blige (Ft. Black Star) – Beautiful (Black Star Remix) Lyrics on Rap Genius

“Tides” is the term used to define the alternating rise and fall in sea level produced by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun. Talib is “slave” to his woman’s aura and attraction due her gravitational pull. In this case…her beauty. Hence the name of the track.
