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.

Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But some how I'm convinced your not any other girl
And for some reason I'm still holding on
Petty arguments and all our ups and downs
It's been crazy but we been at it for a while
The situation I can't leave it alone.
[Chorus]
I'm feeling is real deep down inside
It's telling me it's right
This feeling I'm feeling
Is real deep down inside it's telling me it's right
If what your saying is that I can be your only
I'm with it [Repeat: x3]
Say I will be your say I will be your
I will be your.
When you come around I can't find the words to say
I get speechless how you take my breath away
What is it about you I just can't put my finger on
And I ask myself if this is just another game
That I'm playing how come this feeling still remains
Am I so blind that I can't see I am wrong
But I don't know.
[Chorus]
And no matter what lies problems come nobody's perfect
Just know that you got me this means that we can get through
Baby cause now I know.
[Chorus]

Although he's unsure if he's making the right decision, he's willing to commit to her if she agrees to be with him exclusively.
The chorus emphasizes the intensity of his emotions, portraying the feeling as a deep, powerful force that he can't ignore. He's willing to take a chance on love, even though he knows that relationships are not perfect and do require work. The second verse delves into the physical attraction he feels towards this girl, describing how she leaves him speechless and asking himself if he's just playing another game.
The lyrics overall show that the singer is struggling to reconcile his desire for independence with his desire for a committed relationship. He's afraid of making the wrong decision, but can't help but feel drawn to this one particular girl. The song speaks to the universal struggle of balancing love and independence, and the difficulty of finding the right person amidst a sea of uncertainty.
