Words that rhyme with Unfit
From a sound-design view, unfit is a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word on the tight /ษช/, two-syllable, and it lands on a stopped consonant. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. This one travels in song as a plain-speech anchor. Search for what rhymes with unfit and the engine returns a recognisable shape: the perfect-rhyme pool is generous, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side.

Why unfit rhymes the way it does
In our engine, unfit registers as a two-syllable word on the high /ษช/ (/ษช/) that snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 90 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 55, assonance 10,613, and consonance 1652. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With unfit, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
