a bar is a musical term not a text term so it depends on the song.

as someone else stated a "bar" is a musical measurement.

in rap one bar is typically two snares.

Basically, in hip hop generally, a bar signifies "2 lines" and a line is just "1 line".

a bar is a 4/4 beat...in most music 1/4 beat is a kick, 2/4 beat is snare, 3/4 beat is a kick and 4/4 beat is a snare.. it has nothing to do with lines or whatever.

Online: Bar = 2 lines.

Hip Hop: Bar = 1 line.

Otherwise Game's 300 Miles and Runnin' would be 600 Miles and Runnin'.
