Promise me

I've heard it at the movie It's called get rich or die tryin'
Between mon and her boy

Mom;Promise me that you gonna treat girls right
Son;All right mom

As for my quesiton Could mom have said like this
Promise me you to treat girls right

I guess if mom said like up Would it be a mistake sentence?

That would be completely ungrammatical. Promise me that you are going to treat girls right. = Promise me that you gonna treat girls right.
