Dillard was born in the 187th Street projects of Carol City, Florida. His single mother raised him and his seven sisters, some of whom sang in a local gospel group. As a teenager, Dillard worked with local rap group 2 Live Crew and formed his own amateur group with some friends called the Groundhoggz. His work with 2 Live Crew member Fresh Kid Ice attracted attention of DeVante Swing, a member of the band Jodeci. However, he was rejected by several of the major labels, so he sought many other jobs outside of music. After graduating from high school in 1998, he studied international business management at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for two years and attended Barry University for two months. He returned to Florida to continue pursuing his music career after receiving a phone call from a representative of the independent label Poe Boy Entertainment. Dillard signed with Poe Boy in 2006, and as Flo Rida he began affiliating with other Florida rappers, such as Rick Ross, Trina, T-Pain, and Trick Daddy. A promotional street single entitled "Birthday", featuring Rick Ross, was his first significant release. He made his debut guest appearance with the song "Bitch I'm from Dade County" on DJ Khaled's album We the Best, which featured Trick Daddy, Trina, Rick Ross, Brisco, C-Ride, and Dre.

Never give up, never hold your head down
Never fear no man, never trust anybody
Never say you can't, never, never, never
(Never, never, never)
No
Never give up, never hold you head down
Never say you can't, no, no, no never
Momma said never be a quitter, never since I was young
Never been in my roots, don't let never make you a bum
Never, my only son, she said, never beggin', for crumbs
If never found out your slippin' then never might be a gun
Never think suicide, never steal, never lie
Never run up to a gunfight and think you gon' survive
Never that lil' 6 nuts, 6 is for the flies
Never become a snitch, if you would rather be a quiet
Never know 'em, never met 'em
Never seen that fella, never, never, never
When they put you in that room that's what you tell 'em
Hell never to the law, never I'm a be a star
Never catch me up to mar
Never worry, never bury, tears on your teen jersey
Keep it 42, be worthy, never go without the curry
Never the greatest of all time, you in a hurry
Never, it's too early, never have no mercy

Never, never miss your blesses, never start second guessin'
Never get to heaven, never 'cause you missed the lesson
Never bite the hand that feed, never live in greed
Never succeed, never doin' dirty deeds
Never chunk, never give up on your hope
Under pressure dream big when it's rough, make a toast
Never sell your sole, never for some dough
Never diamonds, never pearls, when you die, never go
Never back down, never let your hat down
Never see no bully, let 'em know your background
