It was on a compilation album I had (essential hardcore or heavenly hardcore or suchlike). Goes like this:

E (pronounced eh) Ecstacy
sky's the limit and you know that you can have what you want
E - ecstacy
skys the limit and you know it

The girl starts singing - woh-oh-oh-oh (in the way they did then)

I know its a long shot, but someone once named me a song on here from one line so Im keeping my fingers crossed

I have that song somewhere.

Does she start singing - woh-oh-oh-oh and a man starts singing "move move moving on up" and then she sings woh oh oh again and he sings "move move moving on up"?

This is the first one I found. I'll have another look though.

By Notorious B.I.G.

Good evenin ladies and gentlemen
How's everybody doin tonite?
I'd like to welcome to the stage, the lyrically acclaimed, ha
I like this young man, because, when he came out
he came out wit the phrase, he went from ashy to classy
Ha, I like that
So everybody in the house, give a warm, round of applause for
The Notorious B.I.G. clapping
The Notorious B.I.G. ladies and gentlemen give it up for him ya'll

Uhhh
A nigga never been as broke as me, I like that
When I was young I had two pair of Lees, besides that
The pin stripes and the gray (uh-huh)
The one I wore on Mondays and Wednesdays
While niggas flirt, I'm sewing tigers on my shirt
and alligators
Ya wanna see the inside, huh, I see ya later
Here come the drama, oh, that's that nigga wit the fake, blaow!
Why you punch me in my face, stay in ya place
Play ya position, here come my intuition
Go in this nigga pocket
Rob him while his friends watchin
That hoes clockin, here comes respect
His crew's your crew, or they might be next
Look at they man eye, BIG man they never try
So we roll wid em, stole wid em
I mean loyalty, niggaz bought me milks at lunch
The milks was chocolate, the cookies, buttercrunch
In here, eyes crossed from blue and white dust
Pass the blunt

[Notorious B.I.G.]
Uh-huh, I was a shame, my crew was lame
I have enough heart for most of em
Long as I got stuff from most of em
It's on, even when I was wrong I got my point across
They depicted me the boss, of course
My orange box-cutter make the world go round
Plus I'm fuckin, bitches ain't my homegirls now
Start stackin, dabbled in crack, gun packin
Nickname Medina, make the seniors tote my ninas
From gym class, to Englass, pass off a global
The only nigga wit a mobile, Can't You See like Total
Gettin larger in waist and taste
Ain't no tellin where this felon is headin, just in case
Keep a shell at the tip of ya melon, clear da space
Ya brain was a terrible thing ta waste
Eighty-eight long gates, snatch initial name plates
Smokin spliffs wit niggaz, real life beginner killers
Prayin God forgive us for being sinners, help us out

[Notorious B.I.G.]
After realizin, to master enterprisin
I ain't have ta be in school by ten, I then
Began to encounter, wit my counter-parts
On how ta burn the block apart, break it down into section
Drugs by the selection
Some use pipes, others use in-jec-tions
Syringe sold seperately, Frank the deputy
Quick to grab my Smith-n-Wessun, like my dick was missin
To protect my position, my corner, my layer
While we out here, say the hustlas prayer
If the game shakes me or breaks me
I hope it makes me a better man
Take a better stand
Put money in my moms hand
Get my daughter this college plan, so she don't need no man
Stay far from timid
Only make moves when ya heart's in it
And live the phrase Sky's The Limit
Motherfucker... see you chumps on top

A look on the lyric identifier suggests it's Sky's The Limit by Avant - does that ring any bells?

I miss them days as well moss, best days of my life as in no worries, no bills to pay etc. Just went out and partied like there was no tomorrow. There will never be clubbing like there was in late 80's early 90's.

Caz, age is no barrier to raving, we used to go out with one of my friends Mum and Dad, they were crazy.

mosschops, everyone used to look glassy eyed and grey. It must have been a scary time of day to be on your paper round and a load of drugged up ravers dived out of a nightclub at 7am with their whistles.
