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.
Do It Again
Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We gonna do it two times
And then three times
And then four times
And then we rewind
And do it one more time
Let's do it again
Let's do it again
Baby, feeling of me thinking about you is driving me crazy
'Cause I just wanna give you all this love
And I hate it
When I have to wait oh baby I'm tryna be patient
But my heart is in a rush
I want you, I need you
Right now, baby right now
I can't do, without you
Na nah, baby I'm so gone, girl I
[Chorus]
Girl I think I'm falling, and I don't wanna get up
And even if I'm dreaming, I don't wanna wake up
Tell me can I have you baby, 365 oh yeah
Coz everytime we touch, I be in a trance and I just wanna do it again
Oh baby can we do it again
Oh baby can we do it again
Oh baby can we do it again
Oh baby can we do it again
Oh baby can we do it again
Oh baby can we do it again
Oh baby can we do it again
Oh baby can we do it again
When I wake up
First thing that I wanna do is see your face girl
Oh you be looking so good, don't need no make up
And every time you go away I want you to stay girl, right here girl
'Cause I want you, I need you
Right now, baby right now
I can't do, without you
Na nah, baby I'm so gone, girl I
[Chorus]
Would I be wrong if I ask for one more
If I say ee ii, would you say oh oh

Shawty got em picture perfect frame like photo so
You make me wanna do it again
Wake up in the morning yeah do it again
Sweatin' by your job at lunch break you in
And let you know what you gonna give when you get home
Baby we can lead our lives on
(If you wanna) Make our own movie on your phone
(If you wanna) How about one more time for the road
If you wanna, you wanna, yeah yeah you wanna
It ain't no secret shawty you the one I'm falling for
Late night flight you the one I'm calling on
Ain't no comparison she's something that I've never known
Something that I never know, know know
[Chorus]
The lyrics to the Lloyd feat. André 3000 & Lil Wayne's song Do It Again are about the desire to be with someone over and over again. The song emphasizes the feeling of being lost in love with someone they cannot seem to get enough of. The first verse talks about how it is only going to take one time for them to do what they have in mind, and they will want to do it again and again. The chorus wants to know more about the object of their desire, and they are ready to do it all over again whenever possible. They want to be with this person 365 days a year, dreaming of them, and waking up to them every day.
The second verse follows the same pattern, with the desire to be with the person as soon as they wake up. They do not want the person to go away and want them to stay with them forever. It emphasizes how much they need this person, and it only takes one touch to get lost in the trance. The third verse asks the person if they want to do it again and again, to make their own movie, to wake up to each other, and to have a life together. Overall, the song is about the need to be with the person they love, and they cannot get enough of them.
