Mario Puzo romaticizes a good deal about the Mafia. I'm not so sure about his intentions in writing The Godfather.
And there are artists who are imperceptibly connected to the content of their lyrics. I'm not suggesting Ice Cube or NWA actually acted how they rapped, but there are definitely black metal bands that take their lyrics to heart. Just look at Mayhem.
