Song lyrics are often very colloquial and should not be used as examples of good grammar. Often they reflect non-standard dialects.

You're right [correct]: grammatically it should be 'he says . . '. In Caribbean English, which may be what this song is written in, people say [although they don't write] : 'he say . . '
