Throughout 'Beez in the Trap', Minaj changes and adapts her vocal delivery to specific areas of the song. The song's musical structure is characterized by its ultra minimalistic production, devoid of any hooks and often veering on nothing but empty space, with the exception of a 'bubble-pop' beat and a 'growling' sub-bass. Its permutable soundscape incorporates a retro 1980s gangsta rap production, which consists of effects such as finger-snaps, sparse instrumentation, ricocheting sonar blips, 'drip drip' synths, and features elements of dubstep and grime music. The music is built around a spacious and echoed beat, complemented by sparse hollow drums, and heavy-bass. 'Beez in the Trap' is an electro-hop and hardcore hip-hop slow jam set in common time. In an interview with Graham Norton, Minaj stated 'It just means, 'I am always.' you know, that's our slang way of saying, 'I beez doing such-and-such-and-such.'
