<P> The song begins with a short call - and - response audio clip from The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour as Beyoncé asks the crowd "Lemme (sic) hear you say' Hayyy (sic) Ms. Carter!"'. It then transitions into what Andrew Hampp of Billboard magazine called the "lady thug anthem" of "Yoncé". Beyoncé delivers half - rapped verses on the first half of the song, in which the female protagonist teases male subjects in a club as she turns heads . In the first verse, she warns the other women in the club, "Every girl on here gotta look me up and down / All on Instagram cake by the pound". The singer adds on the second verse, "I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker ." "Yoncé" closes with the bridge as Beyoncé sings repeatedly, "Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor", while an ascending siren echoes over a staccato bass that hits heavily and uniformly in the background . </P> <P> The second part, titled "Partition", is preceded by the sound of paparazzi camera clicks and a window whirring up, which separates it from the first part "Yoncé". "Partition" has a fractured production and is lyrically about the female protagonist having sex with her romantic interest in the backseat of a limousine . Caitlin White, writing for The 405, highlighted that the song details a romantic relationship in which women do not act as sexual objects during sexual intercourse but rather use "the physical act of love as a form of agency", from which they derive pleasure . "Partition" gained significant attention for its explicit lyrics, with frequent references made to the opening lines of the first verse in which Beyoncé asks her driver to put up the partition . </P> <P> On the hook lines, Beyoncé adopts whispery vocals, singing that she wants to please her man, "Take all of me / I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like". The closing minute of the song features a French spoken word interpolation, which translates roughly as: "Do you like sex? Sex . I mean, the physical activity . Coitus . Do you like it? You're not interested in sex? Men think that feminists hate sex, but it's a very stimulating and natural activity that women love". David Haglund and Forrest Wickman of Slate magazine noted undeniable similarities between this spoken section and a similar quote by actress Julianne Moore in 1998 film The Big Lebowski . In May 2014, during an interview with Vanity Fair, Lewinsky addressed the lyrics of the song mentioning her, saying, "Thanks, Beyoncé, but if we're verbing, I think you meant' Bill Clinton'd all on my gown"'. </P> <P> Glenn Gamboa of Newsday wrote that Beyoncé "channels her inner Prince, moving from a sweet, girl - group pop sound to Dirty South hip - hop". Michael Cragg of The Guardian highlighted that Beyoncé gives the best explanation of the album's raison d'être through the line, "Radio say speed it up / I just go slower". He further commended the way Beyoncé half - raps "with a delicious snarl" in the first part of the song . Many critics, including Una Mullalay of The Irish Times and Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune welcomed Beyoncé's rapping on "Partition" and compared it to the work of British recording artist M.I.A . Andrew Barker of Variety magazine highlighted that among the songs that discuss sexuality on Beyoncé, "none hold a candle to the absolutely scorching' Partition"'. He also praised how Beyoncé "toss (es) off a few old - school battle rhymes" with the line, "I sneezed on the beat, and the beat got sicker", being a standout . Similarly, Miles Marshall Lewis of Ebony magazine noted that lines like, "I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker / Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor", would make listeners smile . He praised how Beyoncé "spills lyrics...in a confident flow" and concluded, "As a singing rapper, she's still way more precious than ferocious ." </P>
