ELEVATE 03:06
[Chorus: Hanan ] I don’t really understand your hate All I know is that I can’t relate Instigation, choosing sides Fake relations that you hide behind I’m just out here tryna elevate (x2) [Verse: Toni] Wanna do better than I know. Damnnit if you do. Bet you they gone love you if you don’t Everybody cool when it’s all about the money And it’s coming by the boat. Everybody tryna stay afloat, just to catch a wave Took a dive inside my mind and exercised my right to think This is just a message to the ones that still believe It’s a different kind of feeling when you living out your dreams Eyes wide open heart full as can be Took some time to analyze the way that I’ve been perceived. My Mama know I’m an angel But don’t understand my angle when I tell her I’m not feeling the same And it’s hard to relate to the messages she stressed to us while fixing our plates I mean, I been a black sheep just let me be as I graze Lord, forgive me if I stray. And let my heart balance that feather weight Tryna keep it real in a world that so fake Gave myself permission to finish it like a great Everything is different I promise I’ll never change. Still I elevate; rise to the occasion Staying patient, it’s already mine. Don’t need to chase it. [Hook: Hanan] Patience and balance I move with the challenge (x2) Get off of me I don’t care if you’re all on me Patience and balance I move with the challenge (x2) Get off of me I don’t care if you’re all on me Get off of me I don’t care if you’re all on me-eee I don’t really understand your hate All I know is that I can’t relate Instigation, choosing sides...

RAWIND 01:57
[Hanan] Do you count your blessings Do you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders when you stressin you believe in lessons People and places that can shake up your progression [Chorus: Hanan ] Im sitting up wondering what to do with this mind Future thoughts only so I don’t look behind To memories that held me felt that shit in my spine Ain’t no turning back like we ain’t got no rewind [Verse: Toni] Keep it in motion. Keep it, keep it in motion Moving forward to the glory Pandemonium in my story Can’t handle her; not controlling My cup it is overflowing Hallelujah I’m golden Anointed myself beholding this greatness I’m elated see I done went a found my stride Sweeping crumbs off to the side Had to make my own pie Sow the seeds and pick them right No guarantees but I’mma try That’s that type of *breath* I like That the type of *breath* I like. [Chorus: Hanan ] Im sitting up wondering what to do with this mind Future thoughts only so I don’t look behind To memories that held me felt that shit in my spine Ain’t no turning back like we ain’t got no rewind We aint got no rewind

ELEMENT 03:16
ELEMENT [Chorus: Hanan] Moving in my element You Think that I am decadent Time Flows and I arrive with it Life Is a gift with tests and shifts I’m vibin off my Mother Earth I’m tryna thrive before I’m dirt I Stay to mine put in the work Mo-mma Said don’t forget your worth Nah [Verse: Toni] Cool -- Tell the truth; I’ll love you. Either way you cut the cake it’s me or you -- Smooth like butter Bentley coupe no stutter. No roof, no choice, and I don’t lose - - Word on the street is you got hella potential But you never had the decency to keep it real did you How I’m supposed to feel with you right now I took my life and turned it ‘round, now it’s a lifestyle I got it picture perfect. And you I swear it’s worth it. I swear before you crack the surface, better know your purpose. Tryna sell a -- dream I never made the purchase. They said get up and chase the bag just to sell you purses Knowledge of self got me wondering which one I like best. Progress ain’t progression if your Mama and your block stressed Scratching at the surface of an issue that’s beyond whack Looking in the mirror when it’s time to find a new flex Picking up the pieces. Heart up on my sleeve, yes Spend some time with me ain’t no need for all that defense. Straight up ain’t no ceiling Case and point I’m beaming Took a lil while but on time is all a feeling. [Chorus: Hanan] Moving in my element You Think that I am decadent Time Flows and I arrive with it Life Is a gift with tests and shifts I’m vibin off my Mother Earth I’m tryna thrive before I’m dirt I Stay to mine put in the work Mo-mma Said don’t forget your worth Nah

BETTA 03:52
[Hanan] Too many stories to tell Too many times that I drank from their well Believed their lies and their spells A hate so ugly that they covered with veils Now I, now I see All the po-possibilities I’m free hmm-hmmm [Chorus: Hanan] I’m feeling better than I did before I feel a wave crashin in my soul I feel a oneness that I’ve never known And it feels good It feels good Better than I’ve ever been Knew better than settling. Move with the groove, had to build it from the sediment Better than the best of them Working like a peasant Gotta grind for a second Got my mind on the heavens in this lifetime Coast of Costa Rica just to waste time. Place they don’t talk about in Junior High No bag, first class flight Got you under the impression I could change your life. Had to drop that second guessing all that wrecking my mind Took a test before the lesson, had to study and fight Only Lord knows when the hammer gone strike Wanna show how I’m progressing so I purchase it twice Always knew that I could fly but couldn’t stomach the height It’s alright. It’s all good. It’s all gravy. Better than what’s expected my excellence is contagious. [Chorus: Hanan] I’m feeling better than I did before I feel a wave crashin in my soul I feel a oneness that I’ve never known And it feels good It feels good (x2)

about

Fifth House is a multifaceted artist duo creating warm, invoking soundscapes out of Seattle, Washington. Fifth House is composed of Toni Banx and Hanan Hassan, two colorful wordsmiths who manage to blend and balance their energies, cohesively bringing forth a remarkable sound and lyrics that are hard to forget.

Debut single “Elevate” speaks to the experiences of living in a city which Hassan describes as not just “passive-aggressive” — but “passive-oppressive”. The song serves as a reminder to the listener of their agency in unfavorable social circumstances and their power to elevate.

“Everything we make is for our own healing and understanding first. If we make something that we can bop to that also compels us to alter our own reality in a beneficial way, we want to share that with the hopes that it will serve another.”

Fifth House is poised to release On Time, their debut project April 2020. The EP features a taste of their eclectic sound; marrying soul, hip-hop, jazz and their southern influences into a filling experience that satiates the mind, body and soul.
