Demons in My Cup
NAV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah
All I need is some ice, I'm pouring my demons in my cup (skrt)
Smoking on biscotti, I just told Scotty to beam me up (beam me up)
Walk anywhere I want with my chain 'cause I know I'll never get touched
Think about the people you love in your life 'fore you think about beating me up (yeah)
I'm a big dog, you a pup (pup)
I'm staying away from suckas lately so don't even try dapping me up
You can ask about me in my bank lately, they gon' tell you I'm running it up (running it up)
Park a brand new coupe and I hop out
My ice on gliss when I pop out
Go electric on Tesla and rock out
Take a Perc for the pain and go black out
Fucked a bitch of the Henny and pulled out
My girl in her place, I put my foot down
With no seasoning, beef getting cooked now
Try to play with us, he gettin' put down
Feel like every day land on a pay day
When I'm drunk I be counting on DayDay
Play me music whenever they see me
My car new and it can't play a CD
Catch a play and act like I don't know it
Could be nervous I'm never gon' show it
Keep a shooter to keep me at ease
I know Stix won't hesitate to blow it
All I need is some ice, I'm pouring my demons in my cup (skrt)
Smoking on biscotti, I just told Scotty to beam me up (beam me up)
Walk anywhere I want with my chain 'cause I know I'll never get touched
Think about the people you love in your life 'fore you think about beating me up (yeah)
I'm a big dog, you a pup (pup)
Riding around with sticks, baby, I'll slap shots like a puck
I'm staying away from suckas lately so don't even try dapping me up
You can ask about me in my bank lately, they gon' tell you I'm running it up (running it up)
Hit a lick, thought he'd get away easy
Dropped a lil' bag on his top
When they caught him they gave him a figi
Now his family turn into opps
If they shoot at us, we ain't gon' panic
We do a good job at managing damage
Ready for drama, we staying with cannons
Beat up his block until he can't stand it
Told lil' mama I don't go on dates
Staying low, you gon' barely see me out
She pulled and I painted her face
Now she found out what hanging with me 'bout
Used to double my cup everyday
When I pissed, it was codeine I peed out
Write my lyrics with what I see daily
I make sure there's nothing I leave out
All I need is some ice, I'm pouring my demons in my cup (skrt)
Smoking on biscotti, I just told Scotty to beam me up (beam me up)
Walk anywhere I want with my chain 'cause I know I'll never get touched
Think about the people you love in your life 'fore you think about beating me up (yeah)
I'm a big dog, you a pup (pup)
Riding around with sticks, baby, I'll slap shots like a puck
I'm staying away from suckas lately so don't even try dapping me up
You can ask about me in my bank lately, they gon' tell you I'm running it up (running it up)
In the song "Demons in My Cup" by NAV featuring Benjicold, the lyrics delve into themes of self-medication, resilience, and a survival mentality in the face of adversity and external threats. The opening lines, "All I need is some ice, I'm pouring my demons in my cup," suggest that the singer turns to substances like alcohol to cope with their inner struggles and emotional burdens. This act of "pouring demons" implies a form of escapism or numbing of pain through substance use.
The reference to smoking on biscotti and telling Scotty to beam them up alludes to seeking a heightened state of consciousness or detachment from reality. The imagery of beaming up, often associated with science fiction, could symbolize a desire to escape from the constraints and hardships of everyday life. This is further emphasized by the assertion that the singer can walk anywhere with confidence, as they feel protected by their chain and invincible in some sense.
The lyrics also touch on themes of power dynamics and asserting dominance, with lines like "I'm a big dog, you a pup" and references to riding around with weapons to defend oneself. The singer conveys a sense of bravado and an unapologetic attitude towards potential threats or challengers. The mention of running up one's bank account further underscores a sense of financial success and stability, which could be seen as a form of protection in a world where money equates to power.
Towards the end of the song, there is a shift in focus to encounters with adversaries and handling conflict, including references to retaliation and maintaining a tough exterior. The singer describes a readiness for confrontation and the willingness to use force to protect themselves and their interests. The depiction of a lifestyle marked by violence and mistrust is juxtaposed with moments of vulnerability and intimacy, such as hints of romantic involvement and personal struggles with substance abuse.
In summary, "Demons in My Cup" portrays a complex persona navigating a precarious world filled with both internal and external challenges. Through a blend of bravado, vulnerability, and coping mechanisms, the singer grapples with their demons while asserting their resilience and determination to overcome whatever obstacles come their way. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a character caught between self-destructive tendencies and a survival instinct, ultimately reflecting on themes of power, protection, and the complexities of personal struggle.
