** [[WordOfGod Word of (*ahem*) God]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge33hrlN2Uc says]] that he did this partly to [[{{troll}} piss people off]], and partly because calling himself a "nigga" or a "gangsta" was passe.

* Music/RegalPinion's song, "Clockwork Seraph" has shades of this. His song "Kafkaesque" the narrator says this verbatim, then again seeing as the song is from the perspective of the BigBad in VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI, this can be expected.

* In Dan Bern's song "Jerusalem," the protagonist reveals himself to be the Messiah. This trope is also played with by the protagonist of another song from the same album, "King of the World":
---> I don't need you to bow down
---> I'm not God, I'm just the King, I realize.
---> Well, it might be nice though if you'd kiss my feet
---> And call me "All knowing leader of men"
---> If you were king of the world I'm sure you'd want the same for yourself.

Added DiffLines:

* In the {{Queen}} song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1j-6vRykFs "The Seven Seas of Rhye"]], the lyrics are essentially Freddie Mercury stating this.
** "Princes of the Universe" too:
--->"I am immortal,
--->I have inside me blood of kings!
--->I have no rival
--->No man can be my equal!"
*** "Princes of the Universe" was written specifically for the ''Film/{{Highlander}}'' movie, so it's fitting.
* Jay-Z's nickname Hova/Hov comes from Jehovah, a name for God in the Hebrew Scriptures.
** Rakim was calling himself (and being called by others) God long before him. Canibus also claimed that the fact that he wasn't worshiped seemed absurd to him.
* In TheWho's ''{{Tommy}}'', the title character doesn't so much believe he's God as believe that he's the Messiah, and the trope is subverted in that [[spoiler:his followers ultimately reject him]], but "Sensation" contains the following lyrics:
--->"I leave a trail of rooted people
--->Mesmerized by just the sight,
--->The few I touched now are disciples
--->Love as One
--->I am the Light ?"
* ''[[http://brazilian-songs-blog.blogspot.com/2008/05/raul-seixas-gita.html Gita]]'' by Brazilian rock star Raul Seixas:
--->"I am the bitter taste on the tongue
--->The mother, the father and the grandfather
--->The son who's yet to come
--->The beginning, the end and the middle
--->I am the beginning, the end and the middle"
* "Experiments in Mass Appeal" by Frost*:
--->Forever, immortally
--->Endeavor, a god I'll be
--->Remember reality
--->Forever, immortally
* Glinda and Elphaba call ''each other'' out in this in "Defying Gravity":
--->ELPHABA:
--->I hope you're proud how you would
--->Grovel in submission
--->To feed your own ambition
--->GLINDA:
--->Can't I make you understand?
--->You're having delusions of grandeur
* A couple of songs by Innerpartysysten invoke this trope;
** ''Don't Stop'':
--->The road I walk is paved in gold
--->To glorify my platinum soul
--->I am the closest thing to God
--->So worship me and never stop
** ''American Trash'':
--->I've got this planet in my hands
--->You know I'll waste it if I can
