Words that rhyme with Trustee
Trustee belongs to the two-syllable group; its vowel is a tight high-vowel /iห/, and it doesn't close on a consonant at all. The lyric tradition treats it as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. From the rhyme-data side: the perfect column carries weight on its own, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. From the lyric side, it works as a low-register anchor. Begin with the perfect list โ it carries plenty before the slant columns are needed.

Why trustee rhymes the way it does
The phonology of trustee is a two-syllable core: the long /iห/ (/iห/), then it doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 140 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1041, assonance 2,306, and consonance 0. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Trustee is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
