obscure Wu-Tang lyric crisis
May 27, 2011 9:05 AM Subscribe
What song features the RZA lyric "another day, another dog to walk?"
I heard it recently but now I can't find it. It seems impossible to google (the Gravediggaz line "another day, another ducat" is not what I am looking for).
Yes, I know it's a short snippet in a sea of often unintelligible phrases over more than 15 years of work.
If I could narrow it down, I think it's either on Wu-Tang Forever, Method Man's Tical, or Ghostface's Supreme Clientele. Those are the ones I've listened to lately. But it could be on anything.

I'm guessing that is a joke about Method Man. I've never heard of him being professionally employed as a dog walker. As far as I understood, he was talking about his feet. As in pounding the pavement looking for a job.
I am not familiar with the line, but I am familiar with Wu-Tang Forever, and I don't remember it there. It's not likely on Tical either, I used to play that tape religiously. I am not a big ghostface fan though, so if you have to brute force it, maybe start there. Or the Bobby Digital stuff.

Are you thinking of the band Dog Eat Dog? They collaborated with the RZA during the recording of their "Play Games" album in 1996, and the song Step Right In includes self-references that are similar to the line in your question:
Dog Eat Dog said to step right in
Dog Eat Dog said to step right out
Tell me son what the fuck is life about
We search this whole world for love, peace and harmony
But all we found was hate, deceit and jealousy
Dog Eat Dog so come and check the dialogue
Get your brain out of the fog
Vinny Barbarino represent the Sweathogs
All Boro Kings Roadrunner catalog
You could run but you can't get far
No matter where you at, that's where you are
No matter where you from
Don't matter what you do
We got the bangin' beats and you can all get some
It's like a rabid dog infecting you
Explosion I'm moving like motion
I'm gigantic I m deep as the Atlantic Ocean
Feel the force I strike with the iron cross
You're the face of the pale horse
True indeed we plant the seed to infiltrate the
Whole world community
We're taking no slack it's an all out attack
Cuz this time the RZA let us hook the track
Word to god together on a mission so guard your
Tape deck were converting stereos
DED and the RZArector tell you one more time boy
Protect your neck

Response by poster: Thanks amyms, but that's not the one.
It was specifically in a Wu song, and it was "another day another dog to walk." I heard it a couple months ago and immediately texted it to a friend, so I know the line, just can't find the track.
Thanks!

Okay, this might be a longshot, but is it possible you misheard it? "Another day another dog to walk" sounds very similar to "Another day another body dropped" on Shyheim's Young Godz, which features RZA prominently although Killa Sin is the one who has the "another day" line.

No cigar, because I generally haven't been listening to Wu affiliates, but I had thought of the possibility that I'd misheard it.
Third time's a charm?
