@illplayguitar4u illplayguitar4u; It's Barry Gordon and not Barry Gardell (Barry G). Just making a slight correction there.

@cumensu He is singing about one of the BEST Disc Jockey (radio dj) "Barry G" from Jamaica. Spar Wi Me is the same as 'hang with me' and I'll teach you who is the best of the best.

Can someone please tell me what he is singing about and what he means by spars with me?

@unitron the song was actually like a big shot out to Barry Gardell (Barry G.) who was one of the first actual strictly reggae selectahs on jamaican radio airwaves, which at the time there was only two stations so it was a big thing for reggae to get promoted like that when it was still fairly new to the world and frowned upon by police and soldiers and such. thanks for tunin in, glad you enjoyed the tune!
