No one’s resume is ever truly complete until they add RAPPER to it.  I don’t care if you’re talkin’ ShaqMr. T, or . . . ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER?  Yes, Arnold busted his very first rhymes, and they’re . . . not exactly fresh.  But he tried.

A singer named Andreas Gabalier from Arnold’s home country of Austria wrote a song all about him.  It’s called “Pump It Up – The Motivation Song”, and he got Arnold to drop some bars on it.  They include this brilliance:

“Break some rules, knock down wall, don’t be afraid to fail / You have to think outside the box, I say no pain no gain.

“I don’t want to hear it can’t be done, give always something back / My name is Arnold Schwarzenegger.  I’ll be back.”

(Yes, he rhymed “back” with “back”, but cut him a break, he’s new to the game.  Plus he’s been in this country since the ’60s, and English still isn’t one of his strong suits.)
