Words that rhyme with Slip
Slip, a one-syllable word that pushes the line forward, lands its weight on the short /ɪ/ and shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. Movement-words like this give the verse momentum. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect rhymes turn up in abundance, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, the assonance well is bottomless. Take the lyric role separately and it's a forward-leaning verb. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.

Why slip rhymes the way it does
In our engine, slip registers as a one-syllable word on the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 114 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 101, assonance 6,996, and consonance 439. 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. 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. Slip is a word that benefits from the second pass.
