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

Justin Timberlake's, "Sexy Back"

I'm too sexy for my car
too sexy for my car

I'm too sexy for my hat

Rolling Stones', "Hearts For Sale"
The Boasting Lyrics:
If you don't want my loving
You can just take my resignation
I'm under the hammer
I'm a full time worker
I'm a real body slammer
Comments:
Mick is saying to her that if she tells him no then he'll just as easily get his "satisfaction" because he's a "real body slammer". If this ain't cocky boasting then what is?

Metallica's, "Whiplash"
The Boasting Lyrics:
The show is through, the metal's gone, it's time to hit the road. Another town, another gig, again we will explode. Hotel rooms and moterways, life out here is raw. We'll never stop, well never quit 'cause we're Metallica!
Comments:
The only song in Metallica's history where they mention the name of their band. Actually, pretty much all of the "Kill 'Em All" album could be considered boasting. (In live performances James chasnge the lyrics to "'cause YOU'RE Metallica!" which is a lot more generous.)

Metallica's, "Hit the Lights"
The Boasting Lyrics:
No life 'till leather. We're gonna kick some *ss tonight! We've got the metal madness. When our fans start screaming it's right! --later-- You know the band's insane. We're gonna blow this place away! With volume higher than anything today! The only way, yeah! When we start to rock we never want to stop again! Hit the lights!
Comments:
They're bragging about how much they "rock" abd are better than other bands. (While at the time it was true, it still qualifies)

Nick Lowe's, "(I Made An) American Squirm"
The Boasting Lyrics:
I made an American squirm
And it felt so right

Eminem's, "Elevator"
The Boasting Lyrics:
There once was a saying that I used to say
Back in the day when I met Dre
I used to sit and goof on the phone with my friend Proof
That if I went gold, I'd go right through the roof
He said, "What if you went platinum?"
I'd just laugh at him
That's not happnin, that I can't fathom
Eighy-some million records worldwide later
I'm livin in a house with a fucking elevator
Comments:
We all know that he's very rich and very famous. There is no need to remind people of that. Now to be fair he DOES say that he couldn't quite fathom it until it happened, but it's still bragging.

I'm still king in my crown of thorns.
Comments:

There's no mountain I can't climb There's no tower too high, No plane that I can't learn how to fly

Submitted by: McHobbit
Eminem's, "Solider"
The Boasting Lyrics:
you ***** could never do it like I could do it,
don't even try it, you'll look stupid, do not pursue it
Comments:
What can I say apart from someone's got a lot of self esteem?
