The phrase "bar" refers to a single line or measure of rap lyrics, typically containing one or more rhymes and fitting within the song's rhythm or beat. When someone exclaims "that's a bar," it usually means the line is particularly clever, impactful, or well-delivered, often standing out for its wordplay, metaphor, or meaning.

Metaphorically speaking, the term "soul" is used to describe the deepest essence of something or someone—the part that embodies true emotion, character, and authenticity. In this context, the "soul" can be seen as the driving force behind actions, creativity, or identity, representing the core or heart of a person or experience.
