No Church in the Wild
Jay-Z Kanye West Lyrics

Human beings in a mob
When people come together in large numbers, they often act without thinking for themselves, following the group instead.

What's a mob to a king?
A king will always have the power and authority over a group of people, no matter how large that group may be.

What's a king to a God?
Even a king is nothing compared to a divine figure or force beyond human control, who has more power than any mortal could ever possess.

What's a God to a non-believer, who don't believe in anything?
If someone does not believe in any higher power or authority, then it doesn't matter how powerful a god may seem - they will remain unconvinced and unmoved.

Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright
When someone is facing danger or difficulty, all they can do is hope for the best and persevere.

No church in the wild
In this world where people are often overwhelmed by their own doubts and fears, there is no organized religion or belief system that can provide complete guidance or answers.

Drug dealer chic

I'm wonderin' if a thug's prayers reach
If someone is leading a violent or criminal lifestyle, they may sometimes question whether they are still deserving of mercy or divine help.

Is Pious pious 'cause God loves pious?
It is unclear whether leading a virtuous or devout life is rewarded solely because of divine favor or for other reasons.

Socrates asks, 'Whose bias do y'all seek?' All for Plato, screech
Even great philosophers and thinkers throughout history have had their own biases that have influenced their theories and teachings.

I'm out chere' ballin', I know y'all hear my sneaks

And let me in through your encryption, yeah, yeah

You will not control the threesome
Some people may try to manipulate or control others in sexual or romantic relationships, even when those relationships involve more than two people.

Just roll the weed up until I get me some
Marijuana and other drugs can be used to enhance or amplify social interactions, reducing inhibitions and creating a laid-back atmosphere between friends.

We formed a new religion
People can create their own beliefs, values, and practices that go beyond the traditional definitions of religion or spirituality, based on their own experiences and preferences.

No sins as long as there's permission
As long as consent is given in any situation, people may feel that they have no moral or ethical imperatives to adhere to.

And deception is the only felony
