Words that rhyme with Bio
There's a particular shape to bio: one-syllable, built on the centred /ษ/, ending that opens out at the end. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. In a song, the word is a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows strict rhymes are abundant, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Start strict, scan family, and only reach for assonance when the line wants slant.

Why bio rhymes the way it does
Bio is built around the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's one-syllable and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 98 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 727, assonance 2,356, and consonance 0. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Bio works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
