Yes, this sentence is grammatically correct. Generally, the sentence would sound better if it was ordered like, "I had you breaking every rule." The sentence "every rule I had you breaking" is still correct, but if you were to speak this sentence by itself it would sound incorrect because it sounds like there needs to be something attached at the beginning or at the end of the sentence. However in the song, the sentence is only ordered this way because "breaking" rhymes with some of the other lyrics.
