You are thinking of y’all, which is a southern American slang contraction of “you all.” However, this person put “ya’ll,” so it’s a contraction of “ya will.”
Either way, neither really fits on the context of the sentence. I wish they had just said poor addicts if that’s who they meant to imply. Shame on me for projecting if I’m misinterpreting.

“Y’all” spelled “ya’ll” bugs the shit out of me. It’s my “I’m a descriptivist until…” Moment. But “we … For y’all people” absolutely is how they’d say it where I’m from. The quotes around the word read to me like they’re shaming them (which, honestly, in the South, I’m sure I’m sure they are), but the sentence structure itself is perfectly in line with how it’s normally spoken in my experience.
