Banks was born in New Carrollton, Maryland and raised in Queens, New York City; he is of mixed Puerto Rican and African American descent. His father spent most of Lloyd's childhood in prison, leaving his mother to raise him and his two siblings. Lloyd attended August Martin High School but dropped out at age 16. For his stage name, he took his great, great-grandfather's name Banks, which was passed on by his uncles who also shared it.
You Wonder Why My Days Hard?
I Spent My Morning At The Graveyard
Ya Crawl Into This World, Don't Walk Away Scarred
Tattoos Of My Past Views, I Was Told Cash Rules
Get Yours, Go If Ya Last Move, Mash Thru
I Wasn't Taught, I'ma Natural
Bred From A Puerto Rican Lady And A Black Dude
And That Dude, Is Why I'm Me
Responsible For Every Smile I See
He Who Told Me Since A Child I'd Be, More Than A Regular Boy
And Boy Was He...right As Ever, I'm Smart, I'm Clever
He's Good, I'm Better, I'm Hood Forever
A Treasure, Value Beyond Measure
I Stand Out, Ain't Gotta Be All Extra
Banks, The One Ya Look Small Next To
Just Like Webster, Run...I'll Catch Ya
If Ya Ain't Have The Money, I'd Ass Bet Ya
Fuck It, This'll Let All The Water Out Ya Bucket
Furs And Specs When I Flex, My Swag And My Steps Extremely Com...
