Stuck livin' on a promise (promise)
You said I'm what you wanted (wanted)
And I'm still about it
I treat it like I own it
But, is the feeling foreign? Um, yeah
Wait, I'm used to being pulled up on the loving
Tell me young'n can you hang?
I'm a little older and I really kinda like it that way
Wanna play
Ooh hey, can you take me where I wanna please?
Spell my name
T-O-N-I-B-R-A-X-T-O-N-I-B-R
Spell my name
T-O-N-I-B-R-A-X-T-O-N-I
Spell my name

Let's take this one step further, yeah
Just give me time and I'mma (show you)
That I'm a grown man
I'll get you straight up fiendin'
Kiss you night-night and put you to bed
Wait, hold up, whatchu sayin'?
Hold up, tell me what you doin', it's okay
You gon' have to hug it, love it, touch it, kiss it
Please don't wait
Make me beg
Ooh hey, take me where I wanna be
