Song: Showdown
Album: Chocolate Factory
There's a lot of things R. Kelly can't promise. He can't, in clear conscience, promise to do you all night long. He can't promise it was a dolphin he just saw. He certainly can't—and won't—promise not to do his hairbraider.
Example conversation:
R. to his lady: "Yo, I'm gonna go get my hair braided. I'll be back in time for the Hudspeth's dinner party."
Lady: "Okay, but R., can you do me a favor and please not do your hairbraider tonight? We're gonna be running late as it is."
R. [taking her hand and gazing at her, sadly]: "You know I can't promise that."
There's so many things R. Kelly can't promise that you might start to think he's afraid of commitment. But that's not true, as this song clearly demostrates. When a promise is an honest, appropriate thing to make, R. Kelly mans up makes it. Like right here, where he promises he's gonna do all the words to the song. He's not gonna skip a single word. When R. Kelly sets out to sing a song, well then so help him God he's gonna sing every last word in that whole damn song.
Even the fadeout.

Are we sure he doesn't mean he promises to do IT to all these words to the song??
That was exactly what I was thinking.
well, no, we're not "sure." how could we ever claim to be "sure" about what R. Kelly is thinking, without presuming that his mind is easily read, and that we are just the sort of uber-intelligent bloggers to do it? I mean, objectify him a little more, why don't you? Who do we think we are, anyway?
