Nasty Nas (or N as he refers to himself now) reflects on his two musical "parents": Queensbridge and hip-hop. He's indebted and committed to the two, and this song is a way for him to give back and proclaim his love to the communities.
The well-placed addition of the Nat King Cole sample at the end shows Nas graciously acknowledging his own accomplishments in hip-hop. Nas will always remember hip-hop... and hip-hop will always remember Nas (Illmatic made sure of that).
