Words that rhyme with Velocity
You can read velocity two ways: as a where-word, or as a four-syllable shape on the clipped /ɪ/ that doesn't close on a consonant at all. It gives the verse coordinates. Anyone hunting rhymes for velocity ends up at the same crossroads: the picked top sets below tell most of the story: perfect matches come in a small handful, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance well is bottomless.

Why velocity rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for velocity starts at the vowel — the high /ɪ/, IPA /ɪ/ — and ends where the line doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 100, assonance 7,464, and consonance 530. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Velocity works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
