Words that rhyme with Prop
Prop belongs to the one-syllable group; its vowel is the short /ษ/, and it snaps shut on a stop. The lyric tradition treats it as a low-register anchor. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. It serves as an unguarded everyday word in most lyrics. Run rhymes for prop through any half-decent engine and you get this shape: perfect-rhyme territory is narrow, family rhymes are simply absent, and the assonance well runs into four figures. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why prop rhymes the way it does
Prop is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the round /ษ/, then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 43 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 78, assonance 5,598, 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. 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. Prop rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
