Inside that bitter brain
There's gotta be a whore
If you don't shut your mouth
You're gonna feel the mutha fuckin' guitar!
Oh, attitude

The song "Attitude" by Guns N' Roses is a straight-up proclamation about an individual's "attitude". The lyrics go into detail about the negative and aggressive behavior of the person being called out for their "attitude." According to the lyrics, this person is bitter, constantly spewing negative and hurtful things, even when they're clearly not warranted or helpful. The singer of the song seems to be fed up with the person's behavior and warns them to watch their step. The lyric "If you don't shut your mouth, you're gonna feel the floor" indicates that the singer is not afraid to use physical force to stop the person from causing any more trouble.
Moreover, the lyrics suggest that despite the person's attitude, they may have a dark secret. The line "There's gotta be a whore" implies that the person may have some sort of shame or guilt about an immoral action they have taken in the past, leading to their negative outlook on life. Overall, the song serves as a warning to those who exhibit a negative and aggressive attitude, telling them they will eventually face the consequences of their actions.
