HE DIDN’T MEAN FOR IT TO COME OUT THAT WAY.
“You have to earn your way, every day, or you don’t play,” Mangino said. “I didn’t mean for it to rhyme but it came out that way.”-Kansas coach Mark Mangino in the University Daily Kansan.
You have to earn your way
Every single day
You have to earn your way
Or homie you don’t play
Big Mac with the mack suit
Stunnin’ in the track suit
Cash money got the honeys
On my personal jack-fruit
Four bills on the scale
Still sippin’ Champale
Trick bitches get crushed
Snort ‘em up like they fat rails
Might think we droppin’ retro
cause we rock the velour
Might think we frontin’ classy
‘Cause we rock the couture
But we street to the nines
Don’t be fooled by the shine
Chewin’ ass on the sideline
Like we was 0-9
The Marky M’s the lawya pimp who brought the fuckin’ gravy
The Marky M’s the one who’s givin’ all these ladies babies
The Marky M’s the one who’s breakin’ all the lawya’s beds
The Marky M’s the one who’s gettin’ all the crazy head
You can’t stop me, gump
Only hope to contain
You know I bring the mayo
Like I’m bringing the pain
So step fast, playa, them looks is deceivin’
Marky M made it on these streets with straight thievin’
Like Andre Berto, laywa I’ll have you bobbin’ and weavin’
Like epilepsy I’ll have ya straight fuckin’ seizin’
Like butter toast, I’ll spread you and burn you up
Like Sonic cheesecake bites, I’ll straight turn you up
Like my realtor, I’ll call ya and straight learn ya up
Like your daddy, I’ll pin ya, give ya straight buttercups
I’ll eat your hope, and then I’m gonna eat you
Gimme the club and I’ll eat your fuckin’ crew too
Get the party pumpin’, screamin’ Gasolina!
Let’s wreck some shit like we was Hurricane Katrina
Then we roll to the crib where I keep my cheese
Get you mayonnaised up and keep ya weak in the knees
Then we go to the tub and we hit them trees
Got enough for the hungry and we eager to please
In the morning you know ho go to go
Got to hit that film session with the cookie dough
KU don’t sleep, and we at it again
Marky M, thrill to kill, Jayhawkin’ again-WHAT!
[outro]
WOO!!! Can’t front on that, lawya
This has been the indomitable Marky M.
You lawyas best mix your mayonnaise and ketchup
Cause we bringin’ them spicy fries for that ass.
For the 785…I see ya…
Chase Daniel…batter-fried chump-ass pizza lawya…I see you, too.
Lawya Todd Reesing: respek…
We out…

Orson at his finest again. Only here can you have epilepsy and butter toast referenced in adjoining lyrics.
You know someone in Lawrence will make a t-shirt made or start a chant that references this song.

‘Got to hit that film session with the cookie dough’
Pure genius, Orson. Well, if you ever decide to move on to the world of hip hop I will definitely be buying your cd’s and tickets provided Holly takes her rightful place next to you on the wheels of steel.

All I had to do to hear it in my head was make the first line: “I fly like paper get high like planes.” In that world, I see Mangino more as the star of the video than then actual artist, but in a way, he would BE the artist.
Well done son, well done.

Very impressive.

Honestly Orson, did you laugh in that realtor’s ear when he or she called you? I mean you could not have had a serious conversation under those circumstances.

After the tenth or so reading, this is definitely my favorite post here evah! And that’s saying a lot. Now I gots to get me a platinum chain for my cornish hens.
Thanks for bringing the Gravy, O.

In my mind I see Orson with shades and a backward ballcap, mic in hand
Mangino is beside him, just as pictured… banging the floor with his best breakdance moves
they are trading the mic… each does a stanza
and Holly does the squealing and sighs between lines
I don’t know whether to cry, laugh or just…stay insane

Somehow, I picture Orson spittin’ this track on a stoop in Bankhead on a Thursday evening just prior to the USC/Oregon State kickoff.

Though not a fan of the genre, I can follow a few of the references made in your…oh, fuck it. What the hell was that? And the wonderfully photoshopped Mangino has burned its image into my memory…unfortunately.

OH…and that ain’t no rotisserie chicken…no sir my friends… that is a full sized butterball turkey, about 24 lbs… carefully sized in relation to his girth

Fucking brilliant, Swindle.
Marky M needs a hype man. I suggest the Fridge with a pizza-clock medallion around his neck.

Dude, is the fat man rockin’ a Wayne Chrebet jersey? That would have to be like ten times larger than actual size.

In the future, Mark Mangino needs to show up wearing a shirt that says “you know I bring the mayo.” This must happen.

In the aftermath of my laughing/crying spell, I’m left saddened that rap and hip-hop these days contains about 1/100th of the creativity of this piece, yet my suburban white brethren buy that shit by the truckloads.
Really though, best thing I’ve read all month.

Terrence Cody would like to join Mangino on stage for a stirring cover of “Jump Around”…….except it would cause a 6.0 Richter scale earthquake and the place would collapse…….the tour would be called
“Gravitationally Challenged”….
BTW, AIG stock is at 3.02…..get in where ya fit in…..500% increase by X-mas…..call ya broker and ya lawya and get Mangino fat if ya like to gamble
