The lyric is comprised of sly wordplay whereby Drake's equating his love for a woman to his propensity to drinking Codeine for recreation. Codeine, or "lean", is often characterized by being served in two stacked styrofoam cups; double cup. You may also cuff your pants (more than once) if you habitually lean on one leg when standing, and colloquially you lean on other people for support.

Eddie's story of love with a woman he leans on begins over codeine.(less)
