Words that rhyme with Statute
Start from the sound: statute is a two-syllable word on the rounded /uห/, and it shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. From the rhyme-data side: nothing matches this word strictly, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. From the lyric side, it works as an unguarded everyday word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why statute rhymes the way it does
Statute sits on a back /uห/, transcribed /u/ in our engine, and lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 52, assonance 6,659, and consonance 64. 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. Statute is a word that benefits from the second pass.
