The original version, titled "I Wonda if Heaven's Got a Ghetto", was released as a B-side on the 1993 single, "Keep Ya Head Up".

Rapper Nas interpolated "I Wonder if Heaven Got a Ghetto" in the song "Black President" from his untitled 2008 album.

The line "And though it seems heaven sent/We ain't ready to have a black president" is used repeatedly as the song's chorus.

In the Lionel C. Martin directed music video from September 14–15, 1997, the perspective is a first-person viewpoint of Shakur.

In the first 5 seconds "...rapper Tupac Shakur shot multiple times" is heard from the helicopter.
