The soundtrack of the moment: No Church in the wild(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 be- lieve in anything? Will he make it out alive? Alright alright No church in the wild (JZ) Tears on the mausoleum floor Blood stains the coli- seum 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 yall seek All for Plato, screech I'm out here balling, I know yall hear my sneaks Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy laid beats Hova flowed 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 (KW) Coke on her black skin make a stripe like a zebra I call that jungle fever You will not control the three-some 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 f**k nobody without telling me Sunglasses and Advil Last night was mad real Some come in at 5 A.M I wonder if they got cabs still Thinking about the girl in all leopard Who was rubbing the wood like Kiki Shepherd Two tattoos one read No Apologies, the other said Love Is Cursed By Monogamy It's somethin' that the pastor don't preach It's somethin' that a teacher can't teach When we die the money we can't keep, but we probably spend it all cuz 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?

"No church in the wild"The wild is a place without church, it is God forsaken. Everyone is in it and fighting for themselves. This concept of being your own high power is something I have identified with, my religious views being none. I think by praying to a God to save you won't do you much, it takes your own power to save yourself. I have lived by this concept. You can be your own "God."

"Whats a king to a God, whats a God to a non-believer?Power derives from believe. If we believe that someone is above us, they will be. A king is only less powerful than a God because we set him out to be like that. Humans are only less powerful than a king because we say that we are on a lower level. To a non-believer, God doesn't exist. They are not ruled by any power.

Is Pious pious cause God loves pious?This is one of my favourite theories. Socrates asked Euthyphro this question; "Is pious loved by the Gods because it is pious, or it it pious because it is loved by the Gods?" If the first is true then so is the second and this creates a never ending cycle and paradox. This line intrigues me and makes me think every time I hear it.

"Love is cursed by monogamy"Monogamy to me was a curse. I loved two women but in the world it is frowned upon to have more than one partner. Your love should be saved for one person... for the rest of your life. I loved Harriet but I also loved Mary. I lived an monogamous life, and I agree with this lyric. With monogamy you can never test new waters, you can never find better love, more love.
