as dingoleh posted, he almost certainly is referring to a cheap shoe. Clarks shoes are very popular in Jamaica and have been since the '60s. They were very expensive and all the 'rude boys' wanted a pair, so anything other than a pair of Clarks would have been called a 'booga'.
I think it's "Boga" or "Bogga" (lyrics on the lp cover says "Bogga"). In some dialects or urban slang it means a male organ, so maybe it means that he went naked to school. But I'm definitely not sure about that, cause it would be really weird if his mother send him like that to school :P But please, if anyone is sure, leave a comment, cause I would like to know it for sure too!
