About
No Church in the Wild is a song and music video by artists Kanye West and Jay-Z. Online, the first few lines of the song (sung by 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 nonbeliever, who don't believe in anything" have been used both unironically and ironically on various fandom photosets, with a notable rise in popularity in September 2022 on TikTok.
