I got a rap song question

[Loko Jamz]

What does 16 bars mean?

 

[Gas One]

do you know what a bar is?

if not: "In musical notation, a bar or measure is a segment of time defined as a given number of beats of a given duration. The word measure is heard more frequently in the U.S., while bar is used in other English-speaking countries, although musicians generally understand both usages. "

its 16 of them.

which is usually considered "a verse"

4-6 bars might be a chorus.

count to yourself. go "1,2,3,4"
thats a bar. its a sequence of time which is usually equal to "a line" on a rappers rhyme page.
