Why robbing rhymes the way it does
To understand why robbing rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the high /ɪ/, written /ɪ/ — and the ending, which trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 3, additive and subtractive together 61, assonance 6,789, and consonance 38. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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 robbing, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
