Overall Meaning

The song "Kick The Cup" by Hella Sketchy talks about his struggle to overcome addiction to ecstasy and other drugs. The opening lines suggest that the singer is either high or in a delusional state of mind. He mentions "Cupid Soldiers," which can be interpreted as the idea of being under the influence of a drug, which makes him feel like he's on a sort of mission.


As the song progresses, he talks about how a girl wants him to stop taking the ecstasy (kick the cup) to find real love. However, he is unable to do so as he is addicted to the drugs. He feels that he needs the drugs to keep going and cannot simply give them up. The reference to "Blackjack" and "dirty Sprite" further emphasizes his addiction problem, as he is gambling with his life and knowingly taking risks.


Towards the end of the song, he mentions some positive changes he's making ("It's health over wealth," "catch the bro, my mans and cellphone") but still acknowledges his struggle ("But I can't kick the cup"). Overall, the song highlights the struggle of addiction and the difficulty in breaking free of it.
