95 like dat
95
95 stylin, straight shots, gold medallion
Put your number on this paper, promise I'mma dial it
Cute college chick, daddy was a doctor
Word to the great Vonn, she datin a rapper
So I entertain her late night well after
High 10 after, midnight his bedtime
You could say I stole a heart, I just call it face time
No rush, just relax your mind
You are now listening to sounds of a better rap
Bands in drop, there's mosh pit in the lobby
Girl so horny, that's my type of party
No ties, mob s***s, suits and ties
Crap table, Vegas, vampire nights
I marry you tonight just to say we did it right
Waking up with regrets, roll over,
She be like: Why you never called me back?
Sometimes you just be like that
Can't promise the world but I could promise you half of that
Sometimes you just be like that
All the rumors you heard, I ain't got no time for that
Shit, I ain't got no time for that
And you ain't gotta cry, dry your eyes, we gon get through that
Trust we gon get through that
95 like dat
Reservations, call, serve a table
Alligator, snake skin, purple label
Polyester, black berretta, who do it better
For my niggas caged up writing them letters
Lower level, reporting live, channel 11
No emergency but I'm in the 9/11
Far settle, girl scream, a red fellow
Pull up on the scene, bumping on the instrumental
And you know it, know it
Time flies when you're flying first class all the time
And you know it, know it
No time for the games, dollar signs on my mind
And you know it, know it
Eye for an eye, young killa, just wanna stay alive
And you know it, know it
Gotta learn to live with regrets, I regret the times
You like: Why you never called me back?
Sometimes you just be like that
Can't promise the world but I could promise you half of that
Sometimes you just be like that
All the rumors you heard, I ain't got no time for that
Shit, I ain't got no time for that
And you ain't gotta cry, dry your eyes, we gon get through that
Trust we gon get through that
95 like dat
95 like dat
95 like dat
95 like dat
Litigations, black faces, lawyers, briefcases
Agent, top notch, paid investigations
Fired, off top, block shots Anthony Davis
Rod the greatest, acres, no neighbors
Do that so many times, hope you do better next time
Think about a dog next time you drop a dime
Better ride, so she rather fly
Always aksing me the same thing all the time
Why you never called me back?
Sometimes you just be like that
Can't promise the world but I could promise you half of that
Sometimes you just be like that
All the rumors you heard, I ain't got no time for that
Shit, I ain't got no time for that
And you ain't gotta cry, dry your eyes, we gon get through that
Trust we gon get through that

In "95 Like Dat" by Tyga, the rapper boasts about his lavish lifestyle and his love of women. He starts by bragging about his fashion sense and confident attitude, mentioning his gold medallion and his ability to get any woman's number. He then describes a college girl with a successful doctor father who he's entertaining well after midnight on the regular, despite her dating someone else. Tyga emphasizes how he enjoys being with women who are both entertainers and athletes because they're never clingy, and he doesn't have to worry about commitment. He also talks about his frequent visits to Las Vegas, spending time at the crap table and enjoying "vampire nights."
Throughout the song, Tyga repeats the phrase "95 like dat" which seems to refer to his authenticity and confidence, as he's unapologetically himself and never pretends to be anyone else, nor does he try to impress anyone or fit in with anyone else's standard. The song also touches on regret, highlighting situations where Tyga's flaky behavior has led to complaints from women who feel snubbed by him. He acknowledges that sometimes he's just like that and that he doesn't have the time or the inclination to listen to rumors or engage with people who don't share his lifestyle.
