Why suction rhymes the way it does
Suction is built around the front /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 17 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 4,646, and consonance 92. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Suction rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
