I Wonder if Heaven got A Ghetto - 2Pac

"I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto" is the first posthumous single by 2Pac. It appears on his album R U Still Down? (Remember Me). It was also released as the B-side on the "Keep Ya Head Up" single.

There are two versions of the song on the "R U Still Down? (Remember Me)" album. One is the regular remix version; the other is a "hip-hop remix" version which was recorded while he was on Death Row and intended for the album. They are both different from the original version that was featured on the Keep Ya Head Up single.

In "Changes", lyrics from "I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto" are featured in the first verse. 2Pac often wrote songs that remained unreleased when he was alive, and as such took liberties re-using lyrics.

The phrase "I wonder if heaven got a ghetto" first appears in the 1992 song "Welcome to the Ghetto" by Spice 1.


[edit] Video
In the music video, the camera's perspective is a first-person viewpoint of Shakur. After being shot, he stumbles to a nunnery in fictional Rukahs, New Mexico. ('Rukahs' spelled backward is 'Shakur'.) The license plate of the car that Shakur gets in with the older man reads "61671", which references his birthday on June 16th, 1971. The room he goes into with the girl is room number 7. The clock in the background at the end is at 4:03, the same time Shakur officially died.

The video also features several notable figures. Mother Teresa is seen getting on a bus, and already on the bus is Jimi Hendrix, Martin Luther King Jr., a Black Panther Party member, and Elvis Presley. In the bar, Ray Charles is playing the piano, and Snoop Dogg is greeting the girl that Tupac is brought into the room.

Bullshit. Poverty knows no race, and apparently racism comes from every race. Quit promoting your hate. I've never had 'privileges' that you seem to generalize about 'white people'. I grew up poor without parents, slept on the streets, sleeping from couch to couch, slept hungry. I worked my ass off to make money and now I'm finally secure. Fuck man, even looking at your videos you look like some suburban little kid.

I cried last night while listening to this track.Tupac Amaru Shakur was very wise, a poet, and he knew the way the world is.He spoke, and through his music he still speaks, but nobody listens.Things are worse now than they were twenty years ago whether or not you think they're not.We need to change things.Nobody tries anymore, but we all need to try.You may ask change what? If so then you're oblivious.Tupac Amaru Shakur I pray your soul is watched over well.This world can't hurt you anymore.

All he has to do is label it as a conflict or under the veil of another war ie 'war on terror'. The war on terror has enabled any president to go to war with any country under that veil esp in the middle east. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but the facts remain of what it has enabled. Right now, he can send some troops to Iran and say it's a 'conflict' then when our troops die he can label it terrorism, or anti-american extremists and have all the rights to continue the fight.
