Kirikou

I never grew up, but I have the strength of a man
Where I'm from, we say “Thank God” because he is the one who gives
I turn up in my snipes, they want to know my story
My friend, if only you knew, you wouldn’t listen to the rumors
Forever unsatisfied, I love life, let me enjoy it
Far from the American dream, but all I have, I deserve it
 
All you do is run after money
All you do is chase women
You never have time, time
 
Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You need to flee, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You have need to flee, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
You know, in life you have to be long-suffering
The strength of the ghetto has made it that I have no competitor
 
I come from a large family
We do what we can because life is tricky
We don’t want your buzz, we fear the grim reaper
I’m your opposite, that groupie is behaving pretentiously
But I have nothing to offer her
I’m moving forward and I don’t want to chit chat
I represent West Africa, like Mokobe
She wants to cajole me but Mamadou is too talented to fall for that
It takes all sorts to make a world
But I came from nothing to make a name for myself
 
All you do is run after money
All you do is chase women
You never have time, time
Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You need to flee, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You have need to flee, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
You know, in life you have to be long-suffering
The strength of the ghetto has made it that I've got no competitor
 
You need endurance like Kirikou
If you are wanted by the police, run fast like Kirikou
You ex wants you dead, keep a low profile like
Kirikou, Kirikou, Kirikou
Usain Bolt is nothing compared to Kirikou
Take it easy, you look like little Kirikou
If you messed up, act cute like
Kirikou, Kirikou, Kirikou
You know, in life, you have to be tough
I have no competitors, hang on!
 
Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You need to flee, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You have need to flee, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
You know, in life you have to be long-suffering
The strength of the ghetto, meaning I have no competitors
