Beast Mode has hit the big time.

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is the inspiration for a new song from rapper Ludacris. The song is called "Beast Mode" and is a track off Ludacris' new album "Ludaversal." Lynch shared a preview of the music video -- in which he appears -- on social media on Thursday.

"The same way he's plowing down people on the field, I'm plowing down people in the music industry and all these rappers," Ludacris said to ESPN last week. "It's a song that has no hook, it's three minutes of just metaphors and just going in."

The video teaser features Ludacris answering questions from a mob of reporters and using Lynch's signature catchphrases such as, "I'm just here so I won't get fined" and "You know why I'm here."
