I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto was a posthumous single by 2Pac. It is on his album R U Still Down? (Remember Me). It was originally a B-Side to "Keep Ya Head Up" single.
There are also two versions of this 2Pac song on "R U Still Down? (Remember Me)" album, one is the regular remix version, and the other one is a "hip-hop remix version." They are both different than the original version that was featured on the Keep Ya Head Up single.
In I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto, lyrics from Changes (2Pac song) are featured in the third verse. 2Pac often wrote songs that remained unreleased when he was alive, and as such took liberties re-using lyrics. Even though I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto was released before Changes, the latter was recorded first.
[edit] Video
The video was filmed after Tupac's death. It features an interesting perspective: the video is watched as if the viewer is seeing things from Shakur's perspective. The video begins from Tupac's eye view as he is walking (after being shot) to a nunnery in fictional Rukahs, New Mexico. Reversing 'Rukahs' spells out 'Shakur'.
