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

[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!
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.

All embrace me It’s my time to rule at last Fifteen years have I been waiting To sit upon my throne No allegiance I will swear no oath Crowned by God, not by the church As my power is divine (...) I was chosen by heaven Say my name when you pray To the skies See Carolus rise With the lord my protector Make them bow to my will To the skies See Carolus rise Proved in battle Led my men to victory No man alive or dead commands me I answer to the Lord Hear my orders Question me and die! What I say was said in heaven And so it shall be done I know I was destined to rule alone All for myself I have claimed the throne Born to rule My time is now (...) All that's thine, shall be mine, there's no stopping me All over Europe my rule shall be questioned by none All I see, give to me, that is my decree My will be done (...)
This song describes the crowning of the Swedish king Karl XII in the year of 1697. He believed God chose him to rule, and so you cannot question him.

Genocide?
Who will drag me to court?
There's no crime if you do not get caught
I am the law
The officers are boasting how they won't get caught killing people in the genocide in Bosnia.
