She is known for her solo work as well as numerous collaborations and a brief stint as part of hip-hop supergroup The Firm. Brown has faced many obstacles during her rise to fame, including feuds with other rappers, personal tragedy and run-ins with the law, thus being labeled as one of the more controversial female rappers. She has released four solo albums: 1996's Ill Na Na, 1999's Chyna Doll, 2001's Broken Silence, 2003's Ill Na Na 2: The Fever and 2008's Brooklyn's Don Diva. After a bitter split with her record label Def Jam in 2003, Brown ended up in label limbo. In 2004, childhood friend and collaborator Jay-Z resigned Brown to Def Jam and his Rocafella Records label, when he became the President of Def Jam Records. Foxy later split with Def Jam once again to go independent with Black Hand Management.

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".

And I stay fucking with Fox cause that's that bitch

And I don't even get dressed for a video shoot
But I be hoppin' out of Benzes with slippers on

Flyest nigga bitches give it up to the highest bidder
Holdin' brigets, the mo' ice the mo' sex
I'm Meyer Lansky of the projects, Fox is Charlotte O'Neil

Creep when my squad rest, more or less
I'll have your family dressed
Niggas eulogizing part of your vest
I run with gunners and smokers
I'm a bad influence to bitches with kids
Have 'em in the hood, gun in their stroller

Run yo shit bitches
Izl my nizl
Run yo shit niggas
Izl nizl shizl
Run yo shit bitches
Izl my nizl

Izl nizl shizl

(We got your back Fox!)

Overall Meaning

The song "Run Yo Shit" by Foxy Brown features verses by Noreaga and Capone. The song is about being tough and fearless, and not backing down from anyone who challenges you. The opening lines express disgust and surprise at what someone is doing or saying. Noreaga then boasts about his toughness and loyalty to Foxy Brown, while also dissing other rappers. Foxy Brown's verse is about her willingness to go to extreme lengths to get what she wants, including stealing and violence. Capone's verse is similar, with him bragging about his criminal connections and willingness to use violence to get what he wants.

The lyrics of this song are meant to convey a sense of machismo and strength. The use of curse words and references to violence are common in rap music, particularly in songs that are about boasting and being tough. However, the lyrics are also meant to showcase the artistry of the performers, with clever rhymes and wordplay throughout.
