I am trying to understand the meaning of "Bars" I will give a couple examples
In an interview with 50 cent he was referencing when he was coming up he just rapped, he didn't understand "bars" ie. 16 "bars", 8 "bars".
I another song by B Reith he says "Now you got me wastin' "bars" I just threw away three. I threw away three, I threw away three, You got me wastin' "bars" I just threw away three"

The most common meaning of "bar" that I've heard is as a synonym for "measure." So in 4/4 time, one "bar" equals one measure, which equals 4 beats. In 3/4, one bar would be 3 beats, etc. A tune is usually made up of a certain number of measures (or "bars"), such as the Blues which is often called "12-bar blues." I think what 50 cent was saying was that he didn't think in measures, he just rapped, and said what he wanted to say without the rhythmic constraint of fixed measures. What B. Reith was saying, I have no idea.

Also worth noting that in musical notation, measures are delimited by a vertical line on the staff (i.e. a bar).

this is the correct answer. just to add a bit if you are reading music the measures are divided up by a vertical bar or bar lines. that is where this term comes from, there is literally a bar in between each measure in written music.

Be aware that in British English we have 'bars' and 'barlines' not 'measures' and 'bars', Nothing to fight over, but be aware of the possibility for confusion.

@LaurencePayne American English also uses the term "barline" to describe the line between measures.
