Hey, Macklemore! Can we go thrift shopping?

What, what, what, what... [x7]

Bada, badada, badada, bada... [x9]

Only got twenty dollars in my pocket

   It Means That He Is Buying His Clothes For $20 Or Less, When Other Rappers, Like Eminem, Bought Suits For Like $1,000. Then He Gets It Almost New For $20. Yay!!

   Hookers don't care where you get your clothes as long as you got more $$$ for them. It's all good.

   This song is about going into a thrift shop and buying unwanted clothes, blankets, broken keyboards, sports equipment, etc, from a thrift shop.
   
   It can be about "one man's trash is another man's pleasure", or just that you don't need to wear a flashy outfit when you can buy a cheap one for 20 dollars at a thrift shop.
