Thrift Shop

(album: The Heist - 2012)

Hey, Macklemore! Can we go thrift shopping?

What, what, what, what... [8x]

Bada, bada, badadada [8x]

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I I I'm hunting, looking for a come-up
This is fucking awesome

Nah, walk into the club like, "What up? I got a big cock!"
I'm so pumped about some shit from the thrift shop
Ice on the fringe, it's so damn frosty
The people like, "Damn! That's a cold ass honkey."
Rolling in, hella deep, headed to the mezzanine,
Dressed in all pink, 'cept my gator shoes, those are green
Draped in a leopard mink, girls standing next to me
Probably shoulda washed this, smells like R. Kelly sheets
Piss
But shit! It was ninety-nine cents! Bag it
Copping it, washing it, 'bout to go and get some compliments
Passing up on those moccasins someone else's been walking in
Bummy and grungy, fuck it, man
I am stunting and flossing and
Saving my money and I'm hella happy that's a bargain, bitch
I'm a take your grandpa's style, I'm a take your grandpa's style,
No, for real. Ask your grandpa. Can I have his hand-me-downs? Thank you
Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
Dookie brown leather jacket that I found digging
They had a broken keyboard, I bought a broken keyboard
I bought a skeet blanket, then I bought a kneeboard
Hello, hello, my ace man, my Mello
John Wayne ain't got nothing on my fringe game, hell no
I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
The sneaker heads would be like "Aw, he got the Velcros"

[2x]
I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I I I'm hunting, looking for a come-up
This is fucking awesome

What you know about rocking a wolf on your noggin?
What you knowing about wearing a fur fox skin?
I'm digging, I'm digging, I'm searching right through that luggage
One man's trash, that's another man's come-up
Thank your granddad for donating that plaid button-up shirt
'Cause right now I'm up in her skirt
I'm at the Goodwill, you can find me in the Uptons
I'm not, I'm not stuck, I'm searching in that section Uptons
Your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy
I'll take those flannel zebra jammies, second-hand, I rock that motherfucker
The built-in onesie with the socks on that motherfucker
I hit the party and they stop in that motherfucker
They be like, "Oh, that Gucci. That's hella tight."
I'm like, "Yo, that's fifty dollars for a T-shirt."
Limited edition, let's do some simple addition
Fifty dollars for a T-shirt that's just some ignorant bitch. Shit
I call that getting swindled and pimped. Shit
I call that getting tricked by a business
That shirt's hella dough
And having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don't
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

Goodwill... popping tags... yeah!

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I I I'm hunting, looking for a come-up
This is fucking awesome

I wear your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I'm in this big-ass coat
From that thrift shop down the road
I wear your granddad's clothes, damn right
I look incredible, now come on, man
I'm in this big-ass coat, big-ass coat
From that thrift shop down the road. Let's go, come on

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I I I'm hunting, looking for a come-up
This is fucking awesome

Is that your grandma's coat?
