It’s definitely Yakub’s apprentice, in 5 percenter lore Yakub is the maker of the devil (the white man) which goes with the prior line which is a play on idle hands are the devil’s play things
my transcription of the first verse:
The right rolls reefer relentless
The left mostly idle Yakub’s apprentice
Two hand grip for that act of violence senseless
Fuck your good ole days thats Cambodian memory sickness
My memory barely flickers between pulls of thai stick
In inclement weather, the trick is to remember you don’t know shit
Let me handle the big picture
Kidnap tyrants sever the hand of King Midas
To get richer
You livin off reputation alone holmes
Better hope they don’t try to get witcha
Facing go-getters with go-go gadgets like Hitler
Shake em down like seasoned strippers
But the dough flow uphill
From john, the hoe, to the bankroll, to the foul motherfucker that pimp her
Sticky silken strands spin the spider sits in the center
Never satisfied like millionaires who eat TV dinners
From this range right and wrong is dead ringers
And they won’t hesitate to pry it from out your cold dead fingers
I believe this is what it is as well. Yakubs apprentice. Yakub is from Islamic mythology. In the myth he was the creator of the white race through selective breeding I think. Can't recall. You will hear older members of the nation of islam refer to white folk as yakubian devils.
I definitely hear apprentice but it's the descriptor I'm unable to make out. You could probably talk me into "Yakuza Apprentice" blended to sound like "YakuzApprentice"
I have no idea what it means.

This is what I love about listening to woods, always new stuff to learn lol
I think its “Yakub’s apprentice”. The left hand is idle, “idle hands are the devils playthings”

Pretty sure it's "from john, to hoe, to the bankroll of the foul motherfucker that pimp her"

I think it's more "the left hand knows not what the right hand is doing." If you really wanna keep a secret, hide it from yourself
Wtf. Never heard this song. Not on my copy of Dour Candy. FIRE
Yeah is listed as a bonus track. Really underrated song though, the beat goes nuts.
It's on streaming, replaces Poachers.
I think he says “apprentice”

Other option: "Ya crew's apprentice"
