The lyrics from Bad that I am talking about go,

"I'm telling you
just watch your mouth

I know your game
what you're about."

This guy's rhyming is OFF!

that type of rhyming is called assonance and there isn't a song in this universe that doesn't use it. seriously, go look up the lyrics to any song with a rhyme scheme you can think of and i guarantee you'll hardly find a single one that rhymes absolutely perfectly.

In the 1983 movie Educating Rita, Michael Caine's character, an English professor, explains what type of rhyme an assonance is and Rita (Julie Walters) says, "So, an assonance is a rhyme that you get wrong!"

Madonna's "American Life" and "I Love New York" are prime examples.
