In 1999, Foxy Brown made history as the first female rapper to have a number 1 album with Chyna Doll selling over 173,000 copies in the first week.
In 2005, while in the midst of recording her studio album Black Roses, Brown faced another hardship when she was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss. The hearing impairment took 100% of Brown's hearing, but 20% was restored after an operation to repair it. After her fifth surgery Foxy regained 99.9% of her hearing.
Following a relatively quiet career period which coincided with an eight month jail sentence in 2008, Foxy continued to record the long in-progress Black Roses with a projected release date of late 2010. Ultimately, Black Roses was never released.
In 2018, after years of hiatus, Brown was a featured artist on Nicki Minaj's fourth studio album Queen on the track "Coco Chanel".

Yo Fox and $hort, yo

That want a bitch to lay on her back

[Fox] Bet I be a poor nigga's dream
More money than he ever seen
[Too-Short]
Yo, yo, kiss the projects goodbye
I'mma change you bitch
I'mma have niggas thinkin you a famous bitch
Here's the keys to the Benz, but don't start the car
If you good I'mma let you park the car
From a straight broke-ass to a baller-bitch
They got no other choice but to call you rich
I got hella fly ladies, never cry ladies
Those cheat-on-they-man type tell a lie ladies
Diamond rings, platinum chains
Tell 'em "Baller Bitch" when they ask your name
I say strut that strut, walk that walk
Pop that shit, talk that talk
Hold your head high, be proud of this life
Pray to God that you never fall out of this life
'Cause it's much more better than all world scenes
Bitch, open up your eyes, it's a poor girl's dream
[Repeat 1]
[Foxy]
Kiss that jail shit goodbye, I'mma lace you, nigga

Blaze the keys to the crib, have you lovin' this life
And bitches, ain't nothing fuckin' with a thug in your life
And them frontin' ass niggas who be caught in the hype

I got husslin' ass niggas, thuggin' ass niggas
Always on some shit, never trust them ass niggas
Bust your guns niggas cop your ones
And tell them "Big Baller" when you flash it once

Then slide through the hood and go fuck with your duns
[Repeat 1]
[Foxy]

And if the 700's come, I'll be coppin' it first
So whenever you see some hot shit I'm rockin' it first
[Too-Short]

The pot in 'em choppin' it first
Basically when I ride-by, I'm hurtin' them worse
So now boo, what you gonna do?
You see how quick I got you
That's how quick I will drop you
[Repeat 1]

Tell 'em "Baller Bitch" when they ask your name
Proudly proclaiming one's success
I say strut that strut, walk that walk
Being confident and proud of one's success
Pop that shit, talk that talk
Talking boastfully about one's success
Hold your head high, be proud of this life

Pray to God that you never fall out of this life
Being grateful and wishing to always remain successful
'Cause it's much more better than all world scenes
Being more successful than anything in the world

Leaving behind a life of crime and being successful

People will think you're famous due to your success
Blaze the keys to the crib, have you lovin' this life
Giving someone a luxury home and a good life
And bitches, ain't nothing fuckin' with a thug in your life
Being with a tough and successful man
And them frontin' ass niggas who be caught in the hype
Men who pretend to be successful but aren't
Like they OT and ain't sold a drug in they life
Men who talk like they're drug dealers but aren't
I got husslin' ass niggas, thuggin' ass niggas
Having tough and successful men in her life
Always on some shit, never trust them ass niggas
Being cautious of men who are always up to something
Bust your guns niggas cop your ones
Being prepared to fight and earn money
And tell them "Big Baller" when you flash it once
Being proud of one's success and announcing it to others
Nigga lock the bar down
Taking control of one's success
Show these cats how it's done
Being an example to others of how to be successful
Then slide through the hood and go fuck with your duns
Returning to one's roots and celebrating their success with friends
Call me what you want, I been heard the worst
Not caring about negative opinions
And if it's Cris' in this bitch
Celebrating with champagne
Bet I'm poppin' it first
Being the first to celebrate
And if the 700's come, I'll be coppin' it first
Being the first to buy luxury items
So whenever you see some hot shit I'm rockin' it first
Being the first to have and show off new and trendy things
Shit, droppin' a verse
Rapping
The pot in 'em choppin' it first
Drug dealing
Basically when I ride-by, I'm hurtin' them worse
Showing off one's success to those who doubted it
So now boo, what you gonna do?
Asking what someone will do in response to one's success
You see how quick I got you
Showing off how quickly one can become successful
That's how quick I will drop you
Being ready to leave behind anyone who doesn't respect success
Repeat 1
Repeating the first verse
