  • [Frank Ocean:]
    Human beings in a mob
    What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a god?
    What's a god to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
    Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright, no church in the wild

    [Jay Z:]
    Tears on the mausoleum floor
    Blood stains the Colosseum doors
    Lies on the lips of a priest
    Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
    Rolling in the Rolls Royce Corniche
    Only the doctors got this, I'm hiding from police
    Cocaine seats
    All white like I got the whole thing bleached
    Drug dealer chic
    I'm wondering if a thug's prayers reach
    Is Pious pious 'cause God loves pious?
    Socrates asked, whose bias do y'all seek?
    All for Plato, screech
    I'm out here balling, I know y'all hear my sneaks
    Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy laid beats
    Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats
    Preach

    [Frank Ocean:]
    Human beings in a mob
    What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a god?
    What's a god to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
    Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright, no church in the wild

    [The-Dream:]
    I live by you, desire
    I stand by you, walk through the fire
    Your love is my scripture
    Let me in through your encryption
    Yeah, yeah

    [Kanye West:]
    Coke on her black skin made it stripe like a zebra
    I call that jungle fever
    You will not control the threesome
    Just roll the weed up until I get me some
    We formed a new religion
    No sins as long as there's permission
    And deception is the only felony
    So never fuck nobody without telling me
    Sunglasses and Advil
    Last night was mad real
    Sun coming up, 5 AM
    I wonder if they got cabs still
    Thinking 'bout the girl in all leopard
    Who was rubbing the wood like Kiki Shepard
    Two tattoos: one read "No Apologies"
    The other said "Love is Cursed by Monogamy"
    It's something that the pastor don't preach
    It's something that a teacher can't teach
    When we die, the money we can't keep
    But we probably spend it all 'cause the pain ain't cheap
    Preach

    [Frank Ocean:]
    Human beings in a mob
    What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a god?
    What's a god to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
    Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright, no church in the wild

    [Frank Ocean:]
    No church in the wild
    No church in the wild
    No church in the wild
