I never grew up, but I have the strength of a man
At home we say "Thank God" because it is he who gives
When I arrive, I am sniped, they want to know my story
My friend, if you knew, you wouldn't listen to the "they say"
Eternal dissatisfied, I love life, let me enjoy
Far from the American dream, but everything I have, I earned it

You only run after money
You only run after women
You never have time, time

Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You have to run, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You have to run, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
You know, in life you have to be enduring
The strength of the homeland, makes me have no competitors

I come from a large family
We do what we can because life is deceptive
We don't want your buzz, we fear the reaper
I am your opposite, the groupie there is sucking up
But I have nothing to offer her
I move forward and I don't want to talk too much
I represent West Africa, like Mokobé
She would like to coax me, but Mamadou is talented
It takes all kinds to make a world
But I started from nothing to make a name for myself

You only run after money
You only run after women
You never have time, time

Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You have to run, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You have to run, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
You know, in life you have to be enduring
The strength of the homeland, makes me have no competitors

You need endurance like Kirikou
If the police are looking for you, run fast like Kirikou
Your ex wants your skin, make yourself very small like
Kirikou, Kirikou, Kirikou
Usain Bolt can do nothing against Kirikou
Easy, you look like little Kirikou
You made a mistake, you act cute like
Kirikou, Kirikou, Kirikou
You know, in life you have to be enduring
I have no competitors, hang on!

Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You have to run, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
The world is small, like Kirikou
You have to run, like Kirikou
Determined like Kirikou, Kirikou
Run like Kirikou
You know, in life you have to be enduring
The strength of the homeland, makes me have no competitors
