Go beast mode
Ballin' so hard, yeah they think I got the cheat code (huh)

NBA gon' follow up, but nigga Rock'll do it
Yeah, but fuck it I'ma do it
I got a .40 with a drum and I know how to use it
It go, with the beat I told 'em it's the music
See the pinky ring when throw up the W
I gotta keep a pistol in my Bentley coupe, yeah
Don't get too comfortable, yeah
My Patek too flooded up, yeah
Got a Rollie but I fucked it up, yeah
We don't know about a 1 on 1
We don't fuck with them if they don't fuck with us, yeah

He ain't even think that I was about to smoke him like a fucking Swisher
I can't afford it, I got a daughter you won't catch me slippin'
Yeah, I should be gettin' realer, I be gettin' richer
But I just spent up on my neck could pay a bitch tuition
All my diamonds they be dancin' like they New Edition

Fuck ya bitch and now ya bitch she missin'

Everybody turn yo' power off if yo' phone's on
Hoe you gon' get slapped up in yo' shit using the wrong tone
PnB got us all milly rocking with his song on
A Boogie just walked up in the party with his hoodie on
You know me, rollin' off of pills, strapped up with that chrome
Hoe, don't walk up smilin' in my face if I can't take you home
Baby girl I'm leaning right now on a 4
You know I'm going hard when it's time for beast mode
I'm turnt up, I'm out my body, I'm in crunch mode
40 Glock up in my pocket you don't wanna know

The song "Beast Mode" by A Boogie Wit da Hoodie is about living life in "beast mode" and not letting anyone or anything bring you down. The lyrics talk about balling so hard that people think he's cheating, spending a lot of money on expensive clothing, and having relationships with women who are open sexually. The song also mentions some violent themes, such as having a gun, being ready to use it, and almost getting into a fight with someone who wanted a picture.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Beast Mode" and talks about how he's balling so hard that people think he's cheating or using a cheat code. The next verse talks about his gun and how he knows how to use it, as well as his expensive jewelry and clothing. The final verse talks about drugs, sexual promiscuity, partying, and violence.
In essence, the song is about living life to the fullest and not letting anyone or anything get in your way. It's a call to action to be unapologetically yourself, to be bold and reckless, and to take risks in pursuit of your dreams.
