Is that a part of a longer sentence? It's a little awkward to say for definite exactly what it means without the rest of the sentence or any context.

It could be like 僕は僕だ。 "I am me.", but with the copula だ in its -て form to continue the sentence with more stuff. Example:

僕は僕でいい。 "I am fine as I am."
　僕は "I"
　僕で "am me / being me / as me / as I am"
　いい "am good/okay/fine"

However, depending on the full sentence or context, it might have a different meaning/use. (And I may just be completely wrong... :P)

Yes, this is a part from a song from Boku no hero academy. This is new anime. I was wondering what is this. Simple words but what they wanted to say. Thank you. You wrote very detailed answer.

Ending. Full sentence is 僕は僕でしかないから。I take a look again and have found a full sentence.
