Balance Lost

Forget the invective, I'm just a detective
They call me "Banshee" 'cause I can see
When someone's gonna die with my thrid eye
Turned up a corpse? Just another day in Homicide
Got a B&E, DIP, DUII?
Then don't look at me, tha's some other sucker's game
Give it to a uniform
My time's better spent studying cuneiform

A call from the precinct, that sinking feeling
Transmission in drive and tyres are squealing
A one eighty-seven, another John Doe
Nobody ever said it was easy in the five-oh
Too bad my vision can't see the perp
What's worse, the body won't fit in the hearse
One too many subs and cubanos
Tell you what, I could murder one of those

Voices in my head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
Lights out, another one dead

What's going down now, the other side of town
She used to have a pretty face before she drowned
But was there a hand that pushed or did she just jump?
Will the clues uncover another smoking gun?
It breaks my heart to see one so young
Another one of these and I think my career's done
The victims haunt me every single day
The faces of those I saw but couldn't save

Voices in my head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
Lights out, another one dead

You've got so many ideas crammed into this song that they all step on each other's toes. We've got the rap about the homicide detective, the "Fresh Prince" sample part, the "Voices in my Head" part, and that strange outro. None of these are really bad (except maybe the "Fresh Prince" part), but I don't think they all belong in the same song, and the transitions between them (or, to be more honest, the lack thereof) make their juxtaposition even more jarring. I had to check back to my screen a few times to make sure the song hadn't abruptly switched over. Judge #1 saved your hide, it looks like!
