Words that rhyme with Bid
Bid belongs to the one-syllable group; its vowel is the high /ɪ/, and it ends with a clean stop. The lyric tradition treats it as a plain-speech anchor. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Engine returns: the perfect column carries weight on its own, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Lyric returns: a low-register anchor. Pull from the perfect column first; it has range you can use across a whole song.

Why bid rhymes the way it does
To understand why bid rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the short /ɪ/, written /ɪ/ — and the ending, which closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 62 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 12, assonance 10,965, and consonance 819. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Bid rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
