Or the soon to be slaughtered chickens who sold drugs in the coup

from Nate Levin – Gangster Disciple, Chicago 18 on Rap Genius

Meaning

The comparison here is between chickens and gangsters.

Chickens are raised in a coup, and then are butchered. Gangsters grow up in the projects and often die from gang violence.

It is also a double entendre for Coupe cars, which are frequently owned by drug dealers in the projects.
