Certainly, although I'm primarily thinking of the applicability to his own life (and his haunting video) rather than the penning of the lyrics themselves.

For that matter, Strange Fruit was written by a white dude.
Cash's version and Reznor's interpretations are and were radically different "covers" with different themes, ideals and perspectives they were trying to get across. Clearly, most music fans are more aware and cognizant of "Hurt" being Cash's song then Reznor's. That's why Restore has said many times since Cash's death that it was as much his song and NIN's.

Cash always had a negative, pessimistic view of himself as a bit of a hypocrite, philanderer, rock star who abused drugs and alcohol and was never shy about calling out or reminding viewers or his fans that he wasnt such a angelic, great human being, even though legions of fans and American public saw him as an upstanding, decent-to-good human being who had had public issues and troubles, but had overcome them. Maybe his cover of "Hurt" was also trying to convey to listeners that they should be cautious and mindful about wanting to meet and get to know their heroes, because there's a chance they could end up disappointed or disillusioned.

Now a preacher man once told me
"Son, I'm not so sure you can be saved."
He said, "Life is full of choices
And He sees all the bad ones that you've made."

And I said "Yeah, you're right, I'll probably go to Hell
But God dam all the stories I can tell."

The tweet you tried to link up and post didnt work, Guido. It's said the tweet was unavailable on my end.
It was a picture of Cash, Willie, Waylon and Kris with the caption:
You can’t stop a band that is bonded together through mutual love of god, America, country music, and drug abuse.
 
Some days these lyrics just speak to me. I don't know what they're speaking; but if you know, you know.

"Through the Iris" by 10 Years

Love's not all lost
But it's nailed to my cross
And crucified all that I've held on
To be awaiting
Anticipating a touch such as yours
False affection
A spawn of neglecting
Of love lost hoax
Please understand me
That now where you're standing
Is closer than I'd hoped
 
Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, yeah
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, ooh
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know?
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world, is a new world
And a bold world for me, yeah-yeah
Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
I'm feeling good

Nina Simone knows how to choose a song and sing the heck out of it. I associate a lot of songs to her that are actually covers. Feeling Good is one, but there are several others that she implants so much soul into that you can't help but attribute it to her. A couple of my favorites...

Lilac Wine
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because It brings me back to you

Trouble in Mind
Goin' down to the river
Gonna take my ol' rockin' chair
And if the blues don't leave me
I'll rock away from there.
You been a hard-hearted mama
Great god! you been unkind
Gonna be a cold, cold papa
Cause you to lose your mind.
I'm gonna lay my head down
On some lonesome railroad line
And let the two nineteen
Pacify my mind.
Well it's trouble, oh trouble
Trouble on my worried mind,
When you see me laughin'
I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'.
