I can hardly control my nerves
Never in my life had I felt so much fear
Makeup hides my psychological state
Waiting to get the news of my diagnosis
I'm sorry to tell you that
We found a malignant lesion in your tests
I have cancer, I'm left in limbo, in a trance
In the blink of an eye, my world is unbalanced
Am I gonna die, am I gonna live, who's gonna decide?
How will it affect my loved ones when I go tell them
Time runs, I start seeing the changes in my body
The raw reflection of accepting my new self in the mirror
I face myself head-on every day I go out
Not every princess has long hair
Yet your presence crucifies my wounds
Who are you to tear off my breasts that are fountains of life?
Who are you to pluck the petals from this flower?
But I'm a lotus, purity and honor
My resolution cancels depression
Anxiety, there's no choice
To be victim or warrior in this mission
My mind screams freedom though you keep me in prison
It's me against you, who's gonna win, who's gonna lose?
It's me against you, somebody has to prevail
It's me against you, in this struggle for power
Only one thing I promise you, I'm not gonna back down
In this war, you're not invincible
I'm in war mode, I'm indestructible
You won't defeat me, cancer
You won't intimidate me, cancer
Damn, you wanna see me dead like a piano with no keys
You live inside me, rented, but I'm the one who sets the rules
The poison rushes in, radioactive like thunder
I hear a voice that tells me 'You're in the hands of the Nazarene'
I screamed at the chemo, even if its dose burns me
I'll be the legend, the caterpillar and its metamorphosis
I'm daughter, I'm sister, grandma, I'm mother
I'd rather fight you than have somebody of my blood do it
I don't throw in the towel, let one of us go
There's no truce for the enemy on the battlefield
You can touch my body, my soul is untouchable
Even if you tear my flesh, my faith is unbreakable
You won't steal who I am, my spirit is stronger
I've got this war won even if I face death
It's me against you, who's gonna win, who's gonna lose?
It's me against you, somebody has to prevail
It's me against you, in this struggle for power
Only one thing I promise you, I'm not gonna back down
In this war, you're not invincible
I'm in war mode, I'm indestructible
You won't defeat me, cancer
You won't intimidate me, cancer
You won't defeat me, cancer
You won't intimidate me, cancer
When the tears fall and the pain grows
