Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) came out with a new track in prison in last week's episode of "Empire," calling someone a "snitch b*tch."

With the help of his new lawyer Thirsty Rawlings (Andre Royo from "The Wire"), the business mogul was able to get a mini studio set up for himself behind bars. Lucious is set to return from prison in the next episode, and his post-release plans could be clear from this recent song. But who was Lucious talking about in the track?

The music starts with cop sirens, before Lucious enters, singing, "Sitting back reminiscing / Of how I used to get down and dirty with you / Or pull up on a hot block and come and get you / With a Pistol clocked to handle law licious."

"But never would I thought in a million wishes / After always standing for you would start snitching," he continues.

Who is Lyon calling a snitch? It could be his longtime partner Vernon (Malik Yoba) who told the feds that he actually killed Bunkie (Antoine McKay).

Or it could be Ludacris, who plays a bad cop in the series. When the officer locked him up after his rap session, Lucious said, "We were just talking about you."

"It's hard to see the frame when you in the picture / But now the picture's gone b*tch I'm done with you / So gone get it / Handle your business / And get ready / 'cus I'm coming for you," the lyrics continue.

If Lucious is plotting to get Vernon back, he might be surprised to learn he is already dead. What will Lucious do when he finds out that Andre's (Trai Byers) wife is Vernon's murderer? Will he finally accept her into the family once he thinks she's a monster just like him?

"Ain't no safety ain't no holster and my hands is on it / And I ain't going as easy as you think I'mma roll / I might lay low for a minute then I'm coming for those / That decided to cross a road and roll with the wrong folks," Lucious says on the track.

Does he have a hit list? He could also be talking about his own family. After all, his ex-wife Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson) snitched on the man Lucious used to sell drugs for.

Also Lucious' ex-fiancé Anika (Grace Gealey) has been trying to take over Empire with the rest of his family, and she may have some dirt on him.

Later in the song, Lucious claims he will "never trust a single woman" again. Could he be talking about Cookie and Anika?

"Classified information getting passed off / They doing deals / They at a round table / Pen and paper / They making wild statements," he sings. This could refer to round tables where Anika and Cookie are trying to make business deals behind his back as well.

Lucious will officially be back home at the start of the next episode, when fans may learn the first person on his hit list.

Tune into Fox on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET for the next episode of "Empire."
