Songs sometimes use slant rhymes which are imperfect rhymes. Train and plain are perfect rhymes. Plain&same, off a&ladder are slant rhymes, they *kinda* fit. When you sing (or rap), you can kind of bend the sounds around to make them sound more perfect. Reading it plain, the awkwardness shows through.
