Yo Contra Ti (feat. Orquesta Sinfónica de Puerto Rico)

I can barely control my nerves
Never in my life have I felt such fear
The makeup hides my mental state
Waiting to hear the news of my diagnosis

(I regret to inform you that)
(We found a malignant lesion in your tests)

I have cancer, I'm stuck in limbo in a trance
In the blink of an eye, my world is out of balance
Am I going to die, am I going to live, who will decide?
How will it affect my loved ones when I tell them?

Time's running out, I start to see the changes in my body
The harsh reflection of accepting my new self in the mirror
I face you head-on every day I step out
Not all princesses have long hair

Yet your presence crucifies my wounds
Who are you to rip away my breasts that are sources of life?
Who are you to pluck the petals from this flower?
But I'm a lotus, pure and honorable

My resolution, cancels the depression
Anxiety, no option, the decision lies with me
To be a victim or a warrior in this mission
My mind screams freedom even if you have me in prison

It's me against you, who’s gonna win, who’s gonna lose?
It's me against you, someone has to break through
It's me against you, in this power struggle
Just one thing I promise you, I won’t back down

In this war, you’re not invincible
I’m in warrior mode, I’m indestructible

To me, to me, to me, to me
You’re not gonna defeat me, fuck cancer
To me, to me, to me, to me
You’re not gonna intimidate me, fuck cancer

Damn it, you want to see me dead like a piano without keys
You live inside me, rented, but I’m the one who makes the rules
The poison comes in without brakes, radioactive like thunder
I hear a voice telling me: You’re in the hands of the Nazarene

I screamed at the chemo, even though its dose burns
I’ll be the legend, the caterpillar and its metamorphosis
I’m a daughter, I’m a sister, a grandmother, I’m a mother
I’d rather fight you than let someone from my blood do it

I won’t throw in the towel, one of us has to go
There’s no truce for the enemy in 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
This war I’ve already won
Even if I face death

It’s me against you, who’s gonna win, who’s gonna lose?
It’s me against you, someone has to break through
It’s me against you, in this power struggle
Just one thing I promise you, I won’t back down

In this war, you’re not invincible
I’m in warrior mode, I’m indestructible

To me, to me, to me, to me
You’re not gonna defeat me, fuck cancer
To me, to me, to me, to me
You’re not gonna intimidate me, fuck cancer
To me, to me, to me, to me
You’re not gonna defeat me, fuck cancer
To me, to me, to me, to me
You’re not gonna intimidate me, fuck cancer

When the tears fall and the pain grows
