Depends at which level you are writing.
Music (and the lyrics) can influence a person in his/her behaviour. When an artist becomes an idol in the listeners mind, the thoughts expressed trough the music can become definitions when the listener can't fully cope with reality and desires the (often unreal) ways of life spoken of in the music.
The less you have, the more you crave to fill your life.
Mostly, listeners aren't afflicted in their actions by the lyrics of even their most favorite artists, but sometimes people are so empty that they adapt the message in lyrics and the actions of the artist. Sadly it mostly concerns the more aggressive kinds of music, leading to wannabe gangsters and such.
depends on what you are listening to.

As ive already said, modern music (hip hop, r&b) is sort of influencing people to do things they wouldnt normally do, like criminal actions, but also death metal is at quite a high nowadays, which influences people to do bad things aswell
