Why nonstop rhymes the way it does
Pull nonstop apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the round /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 44 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 78, assonance 5,597, and consonance 358. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Nonstop reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
