Words that rhyme with Social
On the page, social is a common-tongue word; on the ear it's a two-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ that trails through a flowing liquid. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect rhymes are not on the table, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Take the lyric role separately and it's a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why social rhymes the way it does
The phonology of social is a two-syllable core: the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 145, assonance 4,474, and consonance 44. 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. Social is a word that benefits from the second pass.
