Songs often use incorrect grammar. It should be "we are". It is just present indicative.
In some dialects I understand that you can conjugate this way (e.g. Jamaica) but in other places we are likely to say that it should be "we are", although it would still be understood.
I think that there is the archaic subjunctive use of "we be" but it isn't used anymore, at least in Australia.

'we be' usually translates to 'we will be/we are'. I figure that in this case it means 'we will be'
