Thrift Shop is a 2012 hit by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis that celebrates second-hand shopping, and its opening line about having only twenty dollars in his pocket became one of the song's most quoted moments. The lyric captures the track's playful, anti-luxury attitude, contrasting designer labels with thrift-store finds. As short-form video and meme culture grew, creators lifted the four-second line as a shorthand for cheap finds, budget challenges and proud bargain hunting, keeping it recognisable long after the song left the charts.
À propos de ce son
Macklemore rapping 'only got twenty dollars in my pocket' from Thrift Shop, used for thrift hauls, budget jokes and funny bargain hunting videos.
This four-second clip lifts Macklemore's opening boast from Thrift Shop, delivered in a confident, conversational rap flow over the song's bouncy beat. He announces that he only has twenty dollars in his pocket, and the line lands as both a punchline and a badge of honour, turning a tiny budget into swagger. It instantly signals thrift-store energy, clever shopping and making do with almost nothing, which is why it works as a quick intro, a reaction to a price tag, or the setup for a haul that cost less than lunch.
