GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy rapped a part of Eminem’s 2002 hit song “Lose Yourself” at the Iowa State Fair this weekend.
Ramaswamy began signing when the song – his favorite campaign stage “walk-out” tune – started playing Saturday on fair’s public address system.
“Snap back to reality, ope, there goes gravity. Ope there goes Rabbit, he choked, he’s so mad/But he won’t give up that easy, no, he won’t have it/He knows his whole back’s to these ropes, it don’t matter,” rapped Ramaswamy, who’s drastically trailing front-running Donald Trump in primary polls but moving up among the other contenders.
He also started singing at the conclusion of his “Fair-Side Chat” with Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds and while he was signing autographs onstage.
Ramaswamy told Reynold told the song was “young and scrappy.”
