Ackee is NOT the Spanish word for here. Although it sounds the same, "Aqui" is the word you are referring to.
The Ackee is a fruit-bearing tree, indiginous to Western Africa. The fruits can be eaten after careful processing, and are popular in many Caribbean cuisines.
What does this have to do with the song? No idea...
My guess is it's either entirely made up, or is a not-so-well known children's game.
yea the Ackee is a fruit - brought over from Africa to the Caribean Islands during slave trading. It is actually a very popular (if not the island fruit) of Hatii, Jamacia, Barbados, etc.

The song seems to obviously have that Ska / Ragae beat to is from the Caribbean culture. I'm not sure why they would say "ackee 1 2 3" - could be a cultural thing down there.

I'll try to find out when I go see the beat in a couple days
