I’m, I’m, I’m hunting, looking for a come up, this is fucking awesome

from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Ft. Macklemore & Wanz) – Thrift Shop Lyrics on Rap Genius

Mack’s hunting for clothes. “A come up” is a very common expression about gaining advantage, whether monetarily or whatever.

As a kid in high school him and his friends would dress up in crazy stuff from thrift shops and get drunk together. When they were chillin like this he named himself “Professor Macklemore” which eventually got shortened to Macklemore, his current name. He discusses this whole thing in this Complex mag interview

“I’m huntin'” could be a pun on the movie Good Will Hunting, because he’s hunting for deals at the Goodwill store — Goodwill hunting.
