Words that rhyme with Debit
For lyric work, debit behaves as a common-tongue word. Sound-wise: two-syllable, vowel on the short /ษช/, finally it shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. It serves as an unguarded everyday word in most lyrics. Look up rhymes for debit and you'll get a particular story: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, family-rhyme matches contribute a small near-perfect column, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side.

Why debit rhymes the way it does
In our engine, debit registers as a two-syllable word on the short /ษช/ (/ษช/) that lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 91, assonance 11,346, and consonance 29. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Debit rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
