What does “cised” mean

A word native Washingtonians use to mean excited, amped, or ready, roughly equivalent to 'psyched.' Often spelled 'cised' or 'siced,' it has been singled out by Georgetown's Language and Communication in Washington, DC project and by local commentators as one of the most quintessentially D.C. terms. It is part of the city's distinctive African American vernacular, set apart from broader American slang.
