Analysis of Misbehaving
I’ve been lead down the rabbit hole
Can't fire the fire burning in my soul
At the end of the line there’s a glowing light
I’m going in disguised as the night
You get what you give and I got what I gave
That’s what you get you when you misbehave
If the law don’t get me, then the bank will try
You can take my money cant take my pride
You get what you give and I got what I gave
That’s what you get you when you misbehave
There’s a man upstairs that wont be no slave
That’s what you get when you misbehave
You can lose your mind but don’t lose your head
That’s what you get when you misbehave
