Real Lyrics -> Boasts in Song Lyrics -> Index

A lot of rap music features the singer openly boasting. I'm looking for examples of boasts that are unrealistic.

Boasts in Song Lyrics, Index

Here's a couple of the most recent entries...

Manowar's, "Metal Warriors"
The Boasting Lyrics:
Now the world must listen to our decree,
We don't turn down for anyone,
We do just what we please.
Got to make it louder,
All men play on ten.
Comments:
Boasting about how they're the loudest band and won't turn down (like their other song "Kings of Metal").

Sabaton's, "Carolus Rex [Swedish]"
The Boasting Lyrics:
[Rough translation] A new time is approaching, this time is coming to an end.
All of Stockholm see me crowned,
Cannons fire salute.
No oath taken, no oath I swear.
The crown does not come from the church,
It came directly from God.
Over the Nordics I rule
With the inheritance that I was given...
The art of war I master,
Let my name spread terror...
Everything I see, want more, who could stop me?
The whole of Europe shall bow for my army
What is yours shall be mine when I slay you
My will be done!
Comments:
Both versions have the king saying you can't question him because he was chosen by the Lord. The Swedish version is similar to the English, but this one has the king boasting about his coronation and how Europe will fear him. He is also experienced in war.
