Words that rhyme with Future
Start from the sound: future is a two-syllable word on the /ษหr/ vowel, and it spills out through a liquid consonant. Time-words like this organise the verse's chronology. The slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the strict column is unhelpful here. Search rhymes for future long enough and you notice the pattern: the pull is toward slant work. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why future rhymes the way it does
Future is built around the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/); it's two-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 140, assonance 2,581, and consonance 174. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. 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. Future rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
