Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Thrift Shop Feat. Wanz

We don’t post that many rap videos, but this one has burned its way into my brain… and in a good way. The new song Thrift Shop from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis is blowing up all over the net. In just about 48 hours, it has already attracted over 400,000 views and it is climbing by the hour. I used to love going to thrift shops, but I don’t think I ever got into it as much as these guys. From the sounds of it, they are the real deal too. At least one commenter on the video says that he ran into them in a thrift shop last summer!

Lyrics

Wha, wha, wha, wha, wha, wha, wha, wha, wha…

[Wanzz:]
I’m gunna pop some tags
Only got 20$ in my pocket
I-i-im hunttin lookin for a dolla
This is fucking awesome

[Macklemore:]
Walk inta the club like what up i got a big cock
Im so pumped i bought some shit from a thrift shop
Ica and the fringe are so damn faughsty
The people like damn thats a cold ass honkey
Rollin in hella deep headed to the mezanine
Dressed in all pink cept’ my gator shoes those are green draped in a leopard mink girls standin next to me
Probably shoulda washed this it smells like R. Kellys sheets pissssssssss
But shit it was 99 cents
If i get caught in it washin it
Bout to go and get some compliments passin off in those mochassins
Someone else has been walkin in but me and grungie fuck em in
I am stuck in a closet
Savin my money and im hella happy thats a bargain bitch ima take it grandpa style
No for real i asked your grandpa if i could have his hand-me-downs
The lords jump suit and some house slippers doukie brown leather jacket that i found diggin
They had a broken keyboard i bought a broken keyboard
