Words that rhyme with Tripping
There's a particular shape to tripping: two-syllable, built on the high /ษช/, ending that lets the nasal carry the tail. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. This one travels in song as a workaday word. Type rhymes for tripping into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: perfect matches come in a small handful, the family column adds a handful of singable slants, and the assonance well is bottomless. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.
