Why leap rhymes the way it does
In our engine, leap registers as a one-syllable word on a tight high-vowel /iห/ (/iห/) that ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 24 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 160, assonance 3,528, and consonance 339. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Leap works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
