Macklemore presents the raging party song "Irish Celebration" at the Wild Buffalo. This is a tribute to the fact that he's "Proud to be a Haggerty" and from Irish decent. Macklemore has been destroying his concerts for a while now. He's about to blow up in the international music scene with all the skill he's got.

Irish Celebration Lyrics:
I' an Irishman
Leather Weathered Irish 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 a dialect
And this is a celebration of course
the green, white, orange
and they pulled up on that shore
first generation born
toast to those that made it on a boat to New York
And when the English came
the colonizer came
they filled it up with bottles of gasoline, turned em into balls of flame
and hurled em to protect whats 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 non-violence but reminds me of the scars
and the bias
put a pint up everybody sing

Chorus
We put our glass to the sky and lift up
and live tonight cause you 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

We put our glass to the sky and lift up
and live tonight cause you 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

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 Haggerty
now with whiskey in our veins
claiming we're the bravest men
I drank old crow, but pretended it was Jameson
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 I couldn't drink it like a gentleman
that doesn't mean I can't make a drinking song for the rest of them
challenge us in football, yeah we might lose
but don't put us next to a barstool
we take history script it in song
light the torch then you pass it on
that right I said lineage through the rhythm we script it from the palm and we give til Ireland is on
Bottoms up

Chorus
We put our glass to the sky and lift up
and live tonight cause you 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

We put our glass to the sky and lift up
and live tonight cause you 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

  • Cheers to Americans not giving a shit! Great SONG!

  • hon the irish!

  • @51wins Your fucking stupid. irish people are from ireland not northern ireland we hate northern ireland . FUCK THE LONDON GUARD.

  • @51wins Most people in the North aren't Irish, only the Catholic population and people who are proud of their Irish roots are usually descendants from Catholics.

  • @51wins I honestly don't think he or us Americans give a shit

  • Why is he flying the Irish Tri-colour don't you know most Irish-Americans came from Ulster (Northern Ireland) lol your flying the wrong flag....everyone across America flys the wrong flag on St.Patricks day. Google Northern Ireland, you mostly ALL came from there not the Republic of Ireland.

  • @snowboyy123 i saw him a couple of days ago.......fucking awesome

  • I honestly can not wait to see him in 12 days!!!!!!
