My generation sippin cough syrup like it's water
Never no pancakes in the kitchen

from Kendrick Lamar – A.D.H.D Lyrics on Rap Genius

A play on syrup and pancakes

Usually people eat pancakes with syrup.

But his generation (Generation X), prefers drinking cough syrup (aka codeine), a practice made popular by southern rappers. But these people choose to just drink that stuff like it’s water instead of buying proper food and nourishment.
