Well, I did some research and it basically means "someone you would die for". Since this is pure slang, you can't definitively give an answer, because it means different things in different communities, but the basic translation I gave works.

So "Everybody needs a family - mine is Ride or Die" basically means "my family is those who I would die for" which may imply the speaker is talking about a gang and not their actual family.
