R is for Render onto me baby
M is for That which is mine

It could be: Hand over me what is mine.  Like,Render unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's or render unto God what is God's.

I think it is meant to read, "Render unto me baby".  The reference that comes to my mind is from the New Testament where Jesus responds to a trick question from the Pharisees: 

Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

EDIT:  On second thought, the onto is probably intended... for its sexual connotation.

2nd EDIT:  (I did not see Anonymous's response above.)
