V'ktalik Buterin - Wait for It feat. Terry Crews

Wait for it was created specially for Consensus 2021 by the team at the Defiant as part of Robin's SuperMassive DeFi Unlocked session.Show more

The video is a cover of 'Wait for it' from Hamilton, original music and lyrics by Lin Manuel Miranda (originally sung by Leslie Odom) which we rewrote to tell a story about Vitalik Buterin and CZ and the ever increasing issue of gas. Vitalik's face was deepfaked onto Robin's with additional chorus members drawn from members of the public and other speakers at Consensus.

Expecting upgrades for Eth every day
Keeping the farm warm while the apes grab other chains
Not being petty pretty bored yeah
Just trying to make them chains all fall in line
But They can keep all that yield yeah
Cause Ethereum’s mine
Gas doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takesv
And we keep aping anyway
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there’s a reason Eth’s still the tip
When other chains have tried to flip
I’m willing to wait for it
I’m willing to wait for it [delay]
The grand plan was a fire and top tier layer 2
(L2, L2, L2)
But there are bridges so far can’t cross em if I wanted to
(wanted 2, wanted 2, wanted2)
Unless you are a genius,
but Vitalik he sold all his Eth
(his eth, his eth)
Now Snarks rolling up on productions
Just a legacy we try to keep
Cake doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep aping anyway
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there’s a reason I’m still alive
When everyone in retail has died
I’m willing to wait for it (Wait for it)
I’m willing to wait for it
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
I am the one thing in life I can control
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
I am inimitable
I am an original
I'm not falling behind or running late
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
I'm not standing still
I am lying in wait (Wait, wait, wait)
Casper faces an endless uphill climb
(Climb, climb, climb)
Sol has something to prove
Dot has nothing to lose
(Lose, lose, lose, lose, lose)
CZ’s pace is relentless
He wastes no time
(Time, time, time)
What is it like in his shoes?
CZ doesn't hesitate
He exhibits no restraint
He takes and he takes and he takes
And he keeps winning anyway
He changes the game
He plays and he raises the stakes
And if there's a reason
He seems to thrive when so few survive, then Goddamnit
I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it)
I'm willing to wait for it
Gas doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep aping anyway
We rise (and we fall)
We fall (and we break)
(And we make our mistakes)
And if there’s a reason Eth’s still alive
When everything is so damn high-priced
Then I'm willin' to-
Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it)
Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
(Wait)
