Words that rhyme with Obesity
Obesity reads as a word the songwriter reaches for when the line needs scaffolding on the page; phonetically it's four-syllable, anchored on the short /ɪ/, ending where it ends on an open vowel. It's a concept-word that wants a concrete rhyme to ground it. Two readings: as data — no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, the family column is blank, the assonance count climbs into the thousands; as lyric — a word that lives in the head before the senses. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why obesity rhymes the way it does
The phonology of obesity is a four-syllable core: the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 225, assonance 5,811, and consonance 515. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With obesity, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
