Biography of Lloyd Banks the Rapper

Lloyd Banks was raised in Jamaica, Queens by his Puerto Rican mother--his father spent much of his son's childhood behind bars. Like many young men, he found solace amidst the poverty and ruin of his community through ghetto poetry and the work of rappers like Big Daddy Kane and Slick Rick.

He dropped out of high school at the age of sixteen, finding the structured environment a hindrance to his developing talent for rhyming. After appearing on numerous local "mixtapes", Banks, along with childhood friends Tony Yayo and 50 Cent formed a crew called G Unit, a group that proceeded to redefine the term "street marketing" with a series of self-released albums that included original numbers and quality artwork. Banks stayed on with 50 Cent, appearing on the artist's--now classic--2003 debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin'--November of that same year saw the release of G Unit's Beg For Mercy. His long awaited solo debut for G Unit/Interscope Records, Hunger For More, was released in June 2004.

[Verse 1] [ Lloyd Banks the Rapper ]

I can't keep my eyes off you/ I can tell why them other guys lost you Your kind's rarer than a flying saucer /and thats why I can offer-- Similarities in our characters Haven't you heard the word 'round town on how I get down? They gon' whistle/ everybody part is official And that ass witchu/ got my dick hard as a missle Don't hop on top/ cause I ride around with a pistol If they pull us over/ I'll be out of town with a issue If you was mine/ I'd introduce you momma, girl You're style and your boots and are Gabana/ I'm so used to your Prada I take trips cause out in Houston it's hotter Throw on the Al Green use the Impala Lay my jewels on my collar You had me feelin' like a fool when I holla'd Tried to squeeze in but you wouldn't bother And I ain't either/ soon as I realize that I ain't neither She in a rush to get close to me/ but I aint eager...shiiiit

[Chorus] [ Lloyd Banks the Rapper ] I am the one you denied you pushed me off everytime I tried but I'm alright I'm able to swallow my pride and put all the bullshit to the side If you ready to ride I'm down for a one night stand I'll accept it anyway that I can cause I ain't your man I'll try for whatever it's worth just remember who played who first, yeah

[Verse 2] [ Lloyd Banks the Rapper ]

Look, I don't mean to bother you/ but your sex appeal is remarkable You make a G wanna walk around in the park witchu There ain't no tellin' the kinda things I'ma start to do If I get wrapped up on your ass too fast I can tell you feel the same cause when I ask you laugh So I'ma leave it at that take a hint and put in my math I imagine your body look twice as good in the bath And I'm buggin/ cause I can see you right in the hood/when I pass I'm never stable cause business is on my ass But you can be the one that I visit before I dash And I admit/ I been the type to hit and split But you can't blame me for the females that I been gettin wit Cause, most of these broads has had they eyes on my grit 'Til they eat da shit and learn to be satisfied with the dick-- and If you ain't worth it/that's all you get I ain't gonna blame you/ I'ma blame all you tricks-- cuz

[Chorus] [ Lloyd Banks the Rapper ]

Avant: I am the one you denied you pushed me off everytime I tried but I'm alright I'm able to swallow my pride and put all the bullshit to the side If you ready to ride I'm down for a one night stand I'll accept anyway that I can cause I ain't your man I'll try for whatever it's worth just remember who played who first, yeah

[Verse 3] [ Lloyd Banks the Rapper ]

It seems like your attitude/ only appears when I'm mad at you When several situations occur and that includes: When I'm going too long ridin' through them avenues As soon as I get home there's rumors of scattered news You know my fantasies/ am I feelin things/and can this be? Your girlfriend tryin' to sandwich me My heart's colder than sandwich meat Cause I come from the hood where the hammers be I move fast but I switch pace and pop a Listerine strip in-- Before you get all up in the bitch face Movin' your body like this/ gon' make me blow like a bottle of Cris Man, I dunno no one hotter to twist You got my temperature risin'/ from your hips and your thighs And that glare in your eyes'll brighten up the horizon It comes naturally/I don't bribe 'em It's easy as one, two, three and I slide in

[Chorus x2] [ Lloyd Banks the Rapper ]

Avant: I am the one you denied you pushed me off everytime I tried but I'm alright I'm able to swallow my pride and put all the bullshit to the side If you ready to ride I'm down for a one night stand I'll accept it anyway that I can cause I ain't your man I'll try for whatever it's worth just remember who played who first, yeah Lloyd Banks the Rapper
