Irish Celebration - Macklemore
                    Im an irish man 
leather weathered 
isrish skin 
Beard Orange as the sunset over the flag 
in the night sky we fly it in 

Pride for the life we 
fight to live history, 
I write with it spit it with the dialect and this is a 
celebration. Of course 
The green, white, orange. 

And whe the pulled up on 
that shore first generation born 
toast to those that made it on 
a boat to New York (New York) 
And when the englis came 

the colonizer came 
the filled up bottles of gasoline 
turned'em into balls of flame 

And hurled 'em to protect 
what's ours 
Don't touch these lucky charms 
whole bunch of irish screaming "Fuck the London Guard" 
I'm kidding not dissin' London this bloody war 

But go against the Irish and get a bloody jaw 
Preaching nonviolence but remins of the scars 
And the bias, put a pint up 
everyody sing a song 

We put our glass to the sky and life up 
And live tonight 'cause ypu can't take it with ya 
So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us 
And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya (x2) 

From new england to New Brunswick, Galway to Dublin 
A rebellious nation of freckled face hustlers 
Heart, blue collared workers and family 
My heritage, proud to be a Heggerty 
Now with whiskey in our veins 

Claiming were the bravest men I drank Old Crow 
but pretended it was Jemeson dad sipped Guiness 
I sipped Old English 
'Til he sat me down at 16 and said "Boy, this is what a beer is" 

I put down the drink 
couldn't drink like a gentleman 
That doesn't mean I can't 
Make a drinking song for the rest of 'em 

Challenge us i football 
Yeah we might lose 
but don't put us next to a bar stool 
We take the history, script it in song 
light the torch then you pass it on 
that's right I said 
lineage through the rhythm we script it from 
the palm an we give til'ireland is on bottoms up 

We put our glass to the sky and life up 
And live tonight 'cause ypu can't take it with ya 
So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us 
And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya (x2)
