show(ing) attitude
Explanation:
Acho que tem o sentido de tentar mostrar alguma superioridade, não exatamente "puxar dos galões", mas mostrar que não se tem medo e mostrar alguma arrogância. Também não é "ego trip", mas terá a ver com mostrar algo do seu ego.

What is meant by showing attitude?
It is generally used to mean that you behave somewhat arrogantly or disrespectfully. Do you have an attitude? When we hear that question we generally think of someone with a negative outlook on a particular topic, thing or person.

Owns it


Explanation:
I would say this is a form of slang term:

So I suggest an english slang, to match it. It is related with confidence, so "owns it" fits.

You could also use "lit" or "sick", your choice really.
