About This Track

'Weapon' by Mabel is a 2017 pop track from the album 'Ivy to Roses (Mixtape)'. The lyrics adopt a confrontational, self-possessed stance, insisting on boundaries and rejecting ownership. With lines that frame the narrator as “a weapon”, the song turns flirtation into a warning, mixing swagger with defiance as it refuses to need someone else’s tools or jewellery and sets out to unsettle rather than be controlled.

"Weapon" is a track by Mabel, from the album Ivy to Roses (Mixtape), released 12th October 2017. The track is 3:02 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 12 articles about Mabel.

Lyrics

Weapon

Careful how you hold me
I'm a weapon
You can't own me, whao
I'm a weapon

I have got enough to make it rain on you
I don't need your tools and I don't need your jewels
I don't really care what's around your neck
I'm just tryna mess with your head

I, I am not the one, I know I'm not the one for you
You, you are not the only one, don't trust me like you do, do
Treat me like a dream, just know that I won't make it through
It'll all be over soon

Now I need you to be careful how you hold me
I'm a weapon
You can't own me, whao
I'm a weapon
You gon' get shot down (shot down)
Every time you jump me you get shot down (shot down)
Watch how you hold me
I'm a weapon

I don't believe in coincidence
You came here to see me, you were so obsessed
Now I've got you thinking you gon' see the rest
But I'm just tryna fuck with your head

I am not the one, I know I'm not the one for you
You, you are not the only one, don't trust me like you do, do
Treat me like a dream, just know that I won't make it through
It'll all be over soon

Now I need you to be careful how you hold me
I'm a weapon
You can't own me, whao
I'm a weapon
You gon' get shot down (shot down)
Every time you jump me you get shot down (shot down)
Watch how you hold me
I'm a weapon, oh

I'm a weapon, yeah
Don't play with me
Don't play with me
I'm a weapon

Now I need you to be careful how you hold me
I'm a weapon
You can't own me, whao
I'm a weapon
You gon' get shot down (shot down)
Every time you jump me you get shot down (shot down)
Watch how you hold me
I'm a weapon
