I mean I guess I could say that by enhancing/empowering it that I'm altering it, sure. 
And it's Lil Boosie man. He makes some of my favorite music:

"Them long nights on the block, I remember nigga... Went from a little to a lot, I remember nigga... In this world with no dreams, I remember nigga... Gone off X and Codeine, I remember nigga..."
I don't know if he consciously knows the full implications and relevance of that line in bold, but a part of him surely does and such instances definitely hint that on a deeper level he understands what it's all about...

"And God know I know, I feel like can't nobody fuck with meee..... And God got my back so, Boosie keep his mind at eaassse......"
"And God know he raised me...."
....It's not for everyone.
