Me no study - poem
There is a proverb, or more a poem:
Me no study
Me no care
Me go marry
a billionaire
If he die
Me no cry
Me go marry
another guy
Is it grammatical?
And anyway, "If he die"
Shouldn't it be: If he dies?
I'm just interested

It is not grammatical at all and both die and dies are possible.

'Me no study' is not grammatical, so why should 'if he die' be grammatical? The whole poem is ungrammatical, and that's how it was intended to be.

Even though the grammar may seen incorrect, the proverb itself is not grammatically incorrect. Poetic license allows you to mess around with the grammar, to a certain extent obviously. Seems fine!
