Dave‘s waited four years to drop his third album, and The Boy Who Played The Harp landed today on October 24, 2025, feeling like a full-circle moment after the introspection of We’re All Alone.
No Weapons, with Jim Legxacy on the hook, hits as track three, blending gospel-tinged defiance with street wisdom that cuts straight to the bone. It’s Dave at his storytelling best, flipping biblical armor into bars about rising above the noise, while Legxacy’s soulful chorus “No weapon that’s been flashed against me shall prosper” turns it into an anthem for anyone who’s had to grind through the risks.
Dave opens verse one with that sharp wit, “Go check my CV, hand ting in a LV, speedy,” nodding to his come-up from South London estates to global stages, all while keeping one eye on the dangers. Legxacy joins in verse two, painting the toll of those streets—”Life never showed me the T’s and C’s / Never showed me the decency”—a raw nod to lost friends and sleepless nights. By verse three, it’s pure prayer: “I’m praying for more life, more money, more success,” balancing flex with faith, like a modern psalm against the paigons. Produced with touches from James Blake, the beat’s got this urgent pulse that builds from hushed threats to triumphant release.
Fans are already crowning it a highlight, with X lighting up over the chemistry—calling it “classic Dave” and Legxacy’s “masterclass.” This album’s stacked with collabs like Tems on Raindance, but No Weapons sets that tone of protection and prospering through the pain. If you’re spinning it on repeat, you’re not alone.
Dive into the NO WEAPONS lyrics below and unpack its protective power. Don’t miss other THE BOY WHO PLAYED THE HARP tracks for more of Dave’s introspective fire.

Lyrics of No Weapons by Dave & Jim Legxacy
[Chorus: Jim Legxacy]
Weapons
No Weapon That’s Been Flashed Against Me Shall Prosper
My Niggas Had To Take A Risk And Prosper
Go And Slide For Me
And I Said
[Verse 1: Dave]
Go Check My Cv, Hand Ting In A Lv, Speedy
She Got A Bbl, If I Put That Chick On A Bmx, Now She’ll Wheelie
I Got It On Me If You See Me, And Mandem Are Getting Too Touchy-feely
Yeah, Speaking Freely, I Left Her Behind, My People Need, And
[Verse 2: Jim Legxacy & Dave]
Life Never Showed Me The T’s And C’s
Never Showed Me The Decency
Bad Lil’ One Like Alicia Keys
I Been Haltin’ With No Sleep
Mum Said, “Back By The Evening, Please”, We Don’t Need Them Streets
They’re The Reason South London Is R.I.P’s, And 3S,
And Gs, And A Cam For My Jesus Piece, There’s
[Chorus: Jim Legxacy, Jim Legxacy & Dave]
Weapons
No Weapon That’s Been Flashed Against Me Shall Prosper
My Niggas Had To Take A Risk And Prosper
Go And Slide For Me
And I Said Weapons
No Weapon That’s Been Flashed Against Me Shall Prosper
My Niggas Had To Take A Risk And Prosper
Go And Slide For Me
And I Said
[Verse 3: Dave]
I’m Praying For More Life, More Money,
More Success, More Stacks For Them
Yeah, More Platinum Plaques For Them,
This Didn’t Happen By Accident
Any Tongue That Rise Against Me Gonna Fall,
And That’s Why Man Can’t Chat To Them
Waiter Tryna Talk About Minimum Spend,
Rudeboy, I’m Tryna Find Out The Maximum
Jot That Down, Been There, So I Can’t Pop That Down
What You Know About Mum Ain’t Got Cash,
So You Gotta Go Shopping In Lost And Found?
Slow Down, Rudeboy, You Don’t Know Me
Cut Through Southwest On A Lowkey, Huh
Corden On My Estate, We Doin’ Carpool Karaoke
I’m In The Middle Of The Party, But I Don’t Dance In France, Yeah
I Got A Sexy One Tryna Flirt And Distract Me From The Righteous Path
Still Want One Of Them Clermont Twins, The Allegations Are Dark, Huh
But At Least I Know She Gon’ Do Me And My Darg
God, Forgive Me, I Don’t Mean That,
Let Me Face My Bible And Sing My Psalms
Can’t Let Nobody Read My Palms,
Ain’t No None Of Them Paigon Beliefs
I Just Wanna Say That I Built Something
That I Can Give To My Kids, That I Gave To My Niece
So Her Name’s On A Lease,
And My Mumsys Are The Prayers That We Keep, And They Sound Like
[Chorus: Jim Legxacy, Jim Legxacy & Dave, Dave]
Weapons
No Weapon That’s Been Flashed Against Me Shall Prosper
My Niggas Had To Take A Risk And Prosper
Go And Slide For Me
Tryna Find What’s Find What’s Left Inside
And The Dargs And The Guys, And We Stepped Inside
And I Said Weapons (Stepped Inside With A—)
No Weapon That’s Been Flashed Against Me Shall Prosper
My Niggas Had To Take A Risk And Prosper
Go And Slide For Me
[Bridge: Jim Legxacy]
I Was Baggin’ Up Buj On The Eastside
Feelin’ Like K On The Westside
Just Tryna Graduate
I Was Baggin’ Up Buj On The Eastside
Sellin’ Like K On The Westside
Just Tryna Graduate
I Was Baggin’ Up Buj With The Weapons
[Chorus: Jim Legxacy]
No Weapon That’s Been Flashed Against Me Shall Prosper
My Niggas Had To Take A Risk And Prosper
Go And Slide For Me
