Its title speaks truth before the music even begins: nothing is without meaning, nothing is without purpose. This track blends AfroSoul warmth with introspective hip-hop energy, carrying the weight of survival, growth, and self-recognition. It is not loud strength. It is unbreakable strength.

Ntacyo Ntahe (I Won’t Leave Empty-Handed)

[Intro]
Ntacyo ntahe…

---

[Verse 1]
Nakuze mu mwijima, ntazi aho njya
Ariko umutima wanjye warabimenye
Nta mutima woroshye, nta n’inzira yoroshye
Ibyo ntinya ni bike, ibyo nshaka ni byinshi

(I grew up in the dark, not knowing my path
But my heart always knew
No soft heart, no easy road
I fear little, but I dream big)

---

[Hook / Chorus]
Ntacyo ntahe, ntahe n’icyubahiro
Iyo ndwana, sinzataha amara masa
Umunsi uzira imvura, uzira izuba
Niwo uzamenya intwari nyayo

(I won’t leave empty, I’ll go with honor
When I fight, I don’t return in vain
The day without rain or sun—
That’s the day you’ll see a true warrior)

---

[Verse 2]
Bari baravuze ngo sinzagera aho
None dore, ndi mu nzira yanjye
Ndi muri AT&T, ngurisha inzozi
Muri teritwari yanjye, amafaranga arenga ibihumbi ijana
Nta mukono w’Imana ntabona
Nta mpamvu yo gusubira inyuma

(They said I’d never make it there
But look — I’m walking my own road
At AT&T, I’m selling dreams
In my territory, I’m past six figures strong
God’s hand never left me
I’ve got no reason to turn back)

---

[Bridge]
I’m not here for the fame,
I’m here for the name — legacy, not vanity.
I came from pain, but look what I became.
Empty hands? Nah — I came to claim.

---

[Hook / Chorus]
Ntacyo ntahe, ntahe n’icyubahiro
Iyo ndwana, sinzataha amara masa
Umunsi uzira imvura, uzira izuba
Niwo uzamenya intwari nyayo

---

[Outro]
Narinzizi… byose byari kugenda uko byagendaga.
Ariko sinatahe amara masa.

(I always knew… everything would go the way it should.
But I wouldn’t go home empty.)
