Thrift Shop
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Lyrics

Hey, Macklemore, can we go thrift shopping?
Asking Macklemore if he wants to go shopping for cheap, second-hand items.

I'm gonna pop some tags
I'm going to take the price tags off these used clothes I bought and wear them.

Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I only have limited funds to spend on clothes.

I'm, I'm, I'm huntin', lookin' for a come up
I'm searching for good deals and valuable items to buy.

This is fucking awesome
I'm really excited about finding these cool clothes for such cheap prices.

I'm gonna pop some tags
I'm going to remove the tags from these thrifty items.

Walk up to the club like, "What up, I got a big cock"
Walking into the club feeling confident and cool because of his thrift shop finds.

Ice on the fringe is so damn frosty
The jewelry he's wearing is shiny and bright.

The people like, "Damn, that's a cold-ass honkey"
People are impressed by Macklemore's thrift shop outfit.

Rollin' in hella deep, headed to the mezzanine
Macklemore is rolling up to the high-class level of the club.

Dressed in all pink, 'cept my gator shoes, those are green
Macklemore is wearing a lot of pink, but his shoes are an exception in green.

Draped in a leopard mink, girls standin' next to me
Macklemore has a fur coat on and girls are standing close to him.

Probably should've washed this, smells like R. Kelly's sheets (Piss)
Macklemore admits the fur coat smells bad and needs washing.

But shit, it was ninety-nine cents (bag it)
Macklemore is happy to have found such a cheap and valuable item.

Coppin' it, washin' it, 'bout to go and get some compliments
Macklemore is going to clean the fur coat and show it off to people.

Passin' up on those moccasins someone else has been walkin' in
Macklemore is being picky about what items he buys at the thrift shop.

Bummy and grungy, fuck it, man, I am stuntin' and flossin'
Despite getting secondhand items, Macklemore still looks confident and stylish.

And savin' my money and I'm hella happy that's a bargain, bitch
Macklemore is proud of the deals he's getting at the thrift shop and can't wait to show off his new outfits.

I'ma take your grandpa's style
Macklemore is going to wear vintage clothing, specifically his grandpa's clothes.

Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
Macklemore will rock clothing styles that most people won't.

Dookie-brown leather jacket that I found diggin'
Macklemore is going to wear a vintage, poopy-brown jacket that he found while thrift shopping.

They had a broken keyboard, I bought a broken keyboard
Macklemore finds value in strange items that most people wouldn't think to buy, like a broken keyboard.

I bought a skeet blanket, then I bought a kneeboard
Macklemore buys some random items that he doesn't necessarily need but was intrigued by.

John Wayne ain't got nothing on my fringe game, hell no
Macklemore is proud of his fringe clothing and believes he looks better than John Wayne.

I could take some Pro Wings, make 'em cool, sell those
Macklemore can take regular shoes and customize them to look cool.

The sneaker heads'll be like "Ah, he got the Velcros"
People who like fancy sneakers will be impressed by Macklemore's thrift shop Velcro shoes.

What you know about rockin' a wolf on your noggin?
Macklemore is wearing a hat with a wolf on it.

What you knowin' about wearin' a fur fox skin?
Macklemore is wearing a skin from a fox as part of his outfit.

One man's trash, that's another man's come up
Macklemore believes that the things people throw away still have value, and he is willing to take advantage of that.

Thank your grandad for donatin' that plaid button-up shirt 'cause right now, I'm up in here stuntin'
Macklemore is happy that someone donated a plaid button-up shirt to the thrift shop because now he can wear it and look good.

I'm not stuck on searchin' in that section (men's)
Macklemore is willing to look in different sections of the thrift shop for clothes to wear, not just the men's section.

Your grammy, your auntie, your mama, your mammy
Macklemore is willing to wear clothes that other people may find uncool, even if they belong to his mother or grandmother.

I'll take those flannel zebra jammies second hand and rock that, motherfucker
Macklemore is willing to wear unconventional clothes, like zebra-print pajamas that he found at the thrift shop.

The built-in onesie with the socks on that motherfucker
Macklemore found a pair of zebra pajamas with a built-in onesie and socks, and he is excited to wear them.

They be like, "Oh, that Gucci? That's hella tight"
People might assume that Macklemore's clothes are high-end designer items but are surprised to learn they are thrift shop finds.

Limited edition, let's do some simple addition / Fifty dollars for a T-shirt, that's just some ignorant bitch shit
Macklemore thinks it's ridiculous to spend a lot of money on clothes just for the label or brand name without considering the actual quality of the clothes.

I call that getting swindled and pimped shit / I call that getting tricked by a business
Macklemore believes that some companies are exploiting people's desire for fashionable clothes and selling low-quality items for high prices.

And having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don't
Macklemore thinks it's uncool to wear the same clothes as everyone else.

Peep game, come take a look through my telescope / Tryna get girls from a brand? Man, you hella won't / Man, you hella won't
Macklemore is using his thrift shop style to stand out and attract attention from girls who might be impressed by his unique outfits.

Is that your grandma's coat?
People at the club are commenting on Macklemore's style, joking that some of his clothes look like they came from their grandmas or grandpas.
