(I wanna be down)
(I wanna be down with you)
(I wanna be down)
(I wanna be down)
(I wanna be down with you)
I'm tryna be down with you
Like Brandy in '94
Down to kick it whenever
However I need to show you that I want you
It's backwards on how they front you
Used to see you and your man in his truck
Then I heard he dumped you
I didn't believe it
I need to see any confirmation
A girl good as you look I can't see him walking away from
I guess that in my mind I had plans of taking you places
If it ain't a part of God's plan
We fallin' into temptation
It started with just a friendly conversation
We spent some time together
Til sometime my hand was slippin'
Past the waist (uh)
She told me "be patient it's worth waitin' for"
(Yeah)
I told her "you right but I can't wait no more"
I wanna be down with you
Told her "why wait on something I can do now with you"
She told me
"I walk away before I break down with you"
Wanted to do things she didn't wanna do with me
Then I realized I was jeopardizing her purity
Impatient with intimacy led to insecurities
The different between fighting the fight
And acting deliberately
She told me the Lord had forgiven me for my past
But my flesh is tryna make a good woman walk down a path
She done conquered
We askin for blessings, know why He blockin
Said He wouldn't give us more than we handle
And I wouldn't stop it
I was tryna get some pleasure
But look at me now
I learned that you can lose your way up
By tryna be down, just pray for me
(I wanna be down)
(I wanna be down)
(I wanna be down with you)
(I wanna be down)
(I wanna be down)
Yeah
I wanna be down with you like Brandy in '94
But I'm just playin my part
See how far you willin to go
I'm catchin feelings but afraid if I let you know
Then you gon walk away
Like every other dude that did before
Cus low self-esteem done took a toll on me
Like a lil wave plan
It still got a hold on me
Places that you put your hands
Want you to take control of me
My body's sayin "yes"
But my mind is sayin "no" to me
I just wanna be down
Yeah
The battle for purity
Holy Spirit just help me
Cus I can feel it
I'm weak and I'm backsliding
I'm compromising my limits
I said that I'd wait for marriage
That seal signed and delivered
The day that I got the ring
That represents that I'm waiting
If who I'm with can't respect that
Then what's our reason for dating
Remember all them things you was sayin
But look at us now
It's proof that you can lose your way up
By tryna be down, just pray for me
(I wanna be down)
(I wanna be down)
(I wanna be down with you)
(I wanna be down)
(I wanna be down)
