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: the perfect-rhyme pool is generous, family rhymes are simply absent, and the assonance well runs into four figures. The strict list is rich enough to anchor the whole song.

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 76 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 113, assonance 4,921, and consonance 561. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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.
