Dok's unusual style was inspired by both children's authors (Dr. Seuss) and hardcore rappers (Sticky Fingaz of Onyx). He was born in Philly and has since spent his life there trying to find his way. While in 3rd grade he began writing political satire short stories about the then current President Clinton, as well as VP Gore, Speaker Gingrich, etc. based on stories he heard on the news or he read out of his parents' Time and Newsweek magazines. Dok continued his fiction writing along with his poetry through high school when he began recording and performing poetry. He has been fortunate enough to make a name for himself enough that he was invited to perform for two of different Philly Mayors at private functions. Aside from music though, life wasn't always fun. Dok found out at 14 that he would soon become a father. By eighteen, he had two kids and had been kicked out of one of the best high school's in the nation. However, he wasn't ready to give in. He has become the best father, son, employee, MC, person he can be while he still hopes for his chance in the spotlight.

Lyrics
(VERSE 1) Wake up in the morning And I’m praisin’ Allah/ Even though I’m still mourning I gaze at the sky/ Hopin’ today ain’t like the others When they come through and snatch up my brothers/ (Uh huh) All I know is tragedy They took my daughter And slaughtered my whole family/ So they got me Tears in my hand/ They never spent Forty years in the sand/ Appealin’ their plan I don’t know what started them/ But stealin’ our land Leads us to martyrdom/ What if Mormons took over your whole town? Would you sit and conform or would you throw down/ Oh wait The thirteen states that wasn’t yours America took that sh** from Cousin George/ It takes a lot Try and shock ya nation/ Why don’t ya stop this Zionist occupation? (HOOK) Life is love and hate Cryin’ at my mother’s wake/ We fryin’ while we dyin’ Make Zion another state/ They lyin’ just to cover face Tryin’ to smother another brother’s defiant race (VERSE 2) Won’t quit We bleed ‘em til the powers mine/ Get a grip We need freedom up in Palestine / Fight alone Even once if I lose my team/ In the zone Hear the moans of the muhjadeen/ Dad’s a martyr I take ya back remember?/ He’s a charter member Of Black September/ He was there Prepared for those Munich nights Zionists don’t care Bout human rights/ They call them soldiers And they say that I’m extreme? Is it cause Israel issues them fatigues/ No! I gotta check ya lies/ Switch Hamas with Abbas They don’t recognize/ I don’t recognize their right to exist Ignite the night And I fight with my fist/ You see the swastika It’s like the Star of Dave to me/ It’s a new age They puttin’ me through slavery. (HOOK) x2 Life is love and hate Cryin’ at my mother’s wake/ We fryin’ while we dyin’ Make Zion another state/ They lyin’ just to cover face Tryin’ to smother another brother’s defiant race
