Here's a rap video, the entirety of which bragging about fraud against the government:

"I just been swipin' for EDD

Go to the bank, get a stack at least

This ** here better than sellin' Ps

I made some racks that I couldn't believe

Ten cards, that's two-hunnid large"

(For context, "EDD" is California’s Employment Development Department.)

With Google I can find out that he was prosecuted after his video came out. I'll count it. https://abc7.com/post/nuke-bizzle-rapper-edd-fraud/12024561/

Much better bangers about fraud:

Dead Prez - Hell yeah: https://youtu.be/kGjSq4HqP9Y?si=_z6jb0Vfo7_PiITQ&t=82

Maxo Kream - 5200: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kC9j6Zp-kg

Maxo was actually arrested for racketeering, though not due to this song specifically (I don't think).

It's interesting to note that some states restrict the use of rap music lyrics as evidence:
