The World Is Yours is the second effort from Houston hip hop artist Scarface. The album was not as acclaimed as his debut, Mr. Scarface Is Back, but sold strongly, breaking into the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart, and peaking at #1 on the R&B/hip hop album chart. "Let Me Roll" became a Billboard Hot 100 hit in 1993.

The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on October 20, 1993.

The title is a reference to a line from the 1983 film from which the rapper got his name.
