The song "No Church in the Wild" by the American hip-hop artists Jay-Z and Kanye West uses the questioning of established authority, morality, and beliefs from Plato's dialogue titled "Euthyphro."

In Plato's Euthyphro, Socrates disagreed with Euthyphro's claim that what is holy (piety) is accepted by all the gods, just as the song "No Church in the Wild" posits that there is no accepted standard for judging morality.

With the quote, the song is implying that individuals are free to make their religious choices. For the coreligionists, this is a baseless argument because God has established his authority and ordains all things, including morality.

Thus, the song is not using the quote from Plato to convey a different meaning. The quote has the same meaning as in Plato's "Euthyphro" - the rejection of established religion.
