The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Pool data: perfect rhymes are not on the table, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the assonance options multiply into the thousands.

Why robbery rhymes the way it does
The phonology of robbery is a three-syllable core: the high /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 40, assonance 5,665, and consonance 246. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Robbery is a word that benefits from the second pass.
