Thrifting has officially become cool, thanks to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, who have racked up more than four hundred million youtube hits for their compelling indie music video THRIFT SHOP. And now that it is, we can all openly display our wares and delight in not having paid Prada prices on bogus brands. My favorite Austin Texas thrift store happens to be Treasure City at 2142 East 7th, with an ability produce the most random and amazing garb at unheard of low prices, thrift fashion shows, and 25¢ sales; The Blue Hanger comes in second with a staggeringly large warehouse stacked with the kind of bins featured in the video below! Enjoy and let us know the best thrift shop in your area?
[Intro] “Hey Macklemore, can we go thrift shopping?”What what, what, what
Bada, bada, bada dada
I’m, I’m, I’m hunting, looking for a come up, this is fucking awesome [Verse 1: Macklemore] Now walk into the club like “What up?! I got a big cock!”
Nah, I’m just pumped, I bought some shit from a thrift shop.
Ice on the fringe is so damn frosty
The people like “Damn, that’s a cold ass honky”
Rolling in hella deep, headed to the mezzanine
Dressed in all pink except my gator shoes, those are green
Draped in a leopard mink, girl standing next to me
Probably should’ve washed this, smells like R. Kelly sheets
(Pissssss…) But shit, it was 99 cents!
Fuck it, coppin’ it, washin’ it, ‘bout to go and get some compliments
Passing up on those moccasins someone else has 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’ma take your grandpa’s style, I’ma 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 knee board
Hello, hello, my ace man, my mellow
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 “Ah, he got the Velcros” [Hook] [Verse 2: Macklemore] 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 here stuntin’
I’m at the Goodwill, you can find me in the bins
I’m not, I’m not stuck on searchin’ in that section (Mens)
Your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy
I’ll take those flannel zebra jammies, second hand and I’ll rock that motherfucker
The built-in onesie with the socks on the 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 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
Trying to get girls from a brand?
Man you hella won’t, man you hella won’t [Hook] [Bridge: Wanz] I wear your granddad’s clothes, I look incredible.
I’m in this big ass coat from that thrift shop down the road [Hook]
“Is that your grandma’s coat?”
