Question about Korean
I was reading the lyrics of a song, and it said "배가 아프다면 고소해" and the translation said "if you're jealous then sue it"
Doesn't 배가 아프다 means 'stomachache'? Does it have two meanings or is it a kind of slang?

It is a kind of slang. We sometimes say "배가 아프다" when we jealous but not too often

네. '배가 아프다'는 '질투가 난다'는 뜻을 갖고 있는 표현입니다.(idioms) '사촌이 땅을 사면 배가 아프다' 라는 한국 속담(proverb)에서 나온 말입니다.

I think it's a joke rather than a slang.
It's mean that if you feel jealous to anyone or something, you have to try harder.
Koreans with old traditional sayings thought that if someone have a jealous to anyone, he/she has a stomachache in real.
Your sentence in question imply the longway mindmap below....
I got this without illegal manner. so I am proud of it, even though you sue me, because I'm not guilty.
You know also this situation well.
So if you envy me, you should try to get this really harder.
Go sue if you want !
Only sue is useless.
You know this situation as well as I know.
