He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 3, 1986, to Robin Polite and Lloyd Polite Sr. His father died when he was at the age of two, and he moved with his mother and older sister Brandy to Atlanta, Georgia.
Lloyd was discovered by Joyce Irby in 1996 and at the age of 14 was in the pre-teen group N-Toon, alongside younger brother Chuckie. The group won Nickelodeon's cancelled show Double Dare 2000 against No Authority, and the group was signed to DreamWorks Records. Although two singles were released ("Ready" and "Shoulda Been My Girl"), their debut album Toon Time went unnoticed due to a lack of promotion from the label. The group eventually disbanded, and Lloyd began shopping around for a solo deal. He was soon signed to MCA Records with his first single to be "Young Girl". Unfortunately, as MCA Records dissolved into its parent company, Geffen Records, many of the artists on its roster were let go, including Lloyd. However, using "Young Girl" as a demo, he landed a new recording contract with Irv Gotti at The Inc./Def Jam Records.
"Southside", a duet with label mate Ashanti, became Lloyd's debut single and an R&B hit. The video was number one on BET's 106 & Park, where Lloyd and Ashanti performed the song live. The follow-up single was "Hey Young Girl", which wasn't as successful as "Southside". His childhood friend Ciara was in the video, and he is in the video of her hit "1, 2 Step". Both singles appeared on his 2004 debut album, titled Southside, which performed relatively poorly. A third single was never announced. After that, Lloyd appeared singing hooks on singles for label mate Ja Rule on "Caught Up" as well as on rapper Tango Redd's "Let's Cheat". He also made an appearance in R&B singer Sammie's video "You Should Be My Girl".
In 2006, a newly-recorded track titled "You" surfaced, featuring Lil Wayne (an alternate version featured Tango Redd). The single gained airplay on BET Late and it was #1 on 106 & Park. Lloyd's second studio album, titled Street Love, was released on March 13, 2007. The second single "Get It Shawty" was also very successful, reaching the top twenty on the pop charts. By the time the third single "Player's Prayer" was released, interest in the album had diminished. and with lack of promotion the song proved to be unsuccessful.
Lloyd's third album Lessons in Love was released in August 2008. The song "How We Do It (Around My Way)" was promoted as a single in early 2008, but only appeared on select versions of the album. "Girls Around the World" was the next single, another collaboration with Lil Wayne.
Lloyd has made guest appearances on television shows, most notably on the hit show One On One, an episode of Wild 'N Out on June 21, 2007 and on a show called Gotti's Way on VH-1. In an interview Lloyd indicated that he has about twenty tattoos, which include a picture of his father, the logo of his company Young Goldie Music and a "rebel baby angel".
2. Lloyd was a Christian modern rock/pop group who blended vocals with acoustic and electric guitars. Lloyd was formed when two original members of the rock/funk/pop group "Imagine This" teamed up with a new guitarist (who also was with I.T. for a time) and bassist to form Lloyd. The name change is necessary as Lloyd strays quite a distance from the Imagine This.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl let's get
I'm a racist smoker
'Cause I, only roll with white boys, can't rock with blunts oh no
And I'm a avid choker
Smoke loud, and it make noise, hear it everywhere I go
So extra extra, read about it (read about it)
Watch the crime rate drop, and all the hate stop
The tests have shown, the cancer's here, and the next it's gone
It's not wrong to Cheech that Chong, so put it in a bong
And let's get blown (let's get blown, let's get blown)
And let's get blown (let's get blown, let's get blown)
I want you to
Break it, roll it, hit it, hold it, pass it all around
Girl let's get high
I want you to
Break it, roll it, hit it, hold it, time to slow it down
Girl let's get high
Wanna get high, high
Slow motion when you inhale this smoke
Feel your mood change, now you're riding the wave so high
Clouds status, ain't tryna fight it now, you gotta have it
You gonna be my motivation, so light this fire right now (right now, right now)
The way you break it down, then pick it up
It's something like a grinder right now (right now, right now)
You've got the smooth flow, on the exhale
I've got long stroke, something you can feel, that's real
So let's go to the level, you know so well, and stay for awhile
You know I've invested in how you feel, and that's why
I want you to
Break it, roll it, hit it, hold it, pass it all around
Girl let's get high
Break it, roll it, hit it, hold it, time to slow it down
Girl let's get high
The tests have shown, the cancer's here, and the next is gone
It's not wrong to Cheech that Chong, so put it in a bong
And let's get blown (let's get blown, let's get blown)
And let's get blown (let's get blown, let's get blown)
Stop
Eastside, she said
She ain't never been that high, but proceed to hit it two more time
She blown off strong in my '65, my Chevy feel like a Disney World ride
She gone, she gone like she's not even home, got the not disturbed mode on her phone
Spitta got the game, let me put her in the cold
Audio dope they download, I make more dough to take those
Trips, have your friend's jealous
They can't catch us but they can smell us
I'm paper'ed up, like when can you tell us
I'm paper'ed up, smoking personal color to selfie
I'm paper'ed up, and I'm not selfish
Paper'ed up, blunts are not healthy
Paper'ed up, Jet Life, live life wealthy
Paper'ed up, paper'ed up, bank account stretcher
Paper'ed up, paper'ed up, seven Rolexes
The lyrics of Lloyd's song "Blown" primarily revolve around the act of smoking marijuana and the enjoyment and relaxation that comes with it. In the first verse, he expresses his preference for smoking with "white boys," referring to rolling joints with white paper rather than using blunts, which are typically rolled with tobacco paper. He also describes himself as an avid smoker who enjoys the loud or potent strains of marijuana that make a noticeable impact wherever he goes. Lloyd suggests that legalizing marijuana would lead to a decrease in crime and hate.
The chorus emphasizes the act of smoking and getting high, with the repeated phrase "break it, roll it, hit it, hold it, pass it all around." The lyrics convey a desire to experience the euphoria and altered state of mind that comes from smoking marijuana. Lloyd wants to slow things down and enjoy the effects of the drug with his partner.
The second verse highlights the enjoyable aspects of smoking, using vivid imagery to describe the experience. The slow motion inhalation of smoke and the mood-altering effects are compared to riding a wave. Lloyd also mentions the smooth flow of smoke on the exhale and implies a sexual innuendo with the line "I've got a long stroke, something you can feel." The lyrics express a desire to connect with his partner and take their experience to a higher level of enjoyment and intimacy.
The final verse, which features guest rapper Curren$y, continues the theme of smoking and its effects. The lyrics describe a woman who is new to the experience but quickly becomes deeply affected by the marijuana. She is depicted as being "blown off strong," suggesting that she is completely absorbed by the drug's effects. The lyrics also touch upon wealth and success, referencing "papered up" (being rich) and the indulgence of smoking personal, high-quality marijuana. The repeated refrain of "papered up" reinforces the lavish lifestyle associated with wealth.
Overall, the lyrics of "Blown" celebrate the act of smoking marijuana, the enjoyable sensations it brings, and the desire to experience these effects together with a partner.
