sometimes it do be like that

It's ebonics, a slang or dialect version of using "are."

i’m thinking it’s an intentional turn of phrase

so for example in native English, if someone upset some people, you might say, just to be creatively different:

“oh boy. people be big mad”

it is an idiom, not necessarily officially part of the language. just saying things in a silly way to be different

“now you’ve done it… People be cryin’!”

I think it might also be an echo of pidgin English/Creole/caribbean English? Would be an interesting language dive. Ask an AI!
