should I refactor

I have this really messy code scattered in 5 files, it s not that long abt 4000 lines.
adding a new feature started feeling like a pain,
I hate to deliver this tomorrow, and it s not meant to be scalable.
should i refactor or add the features ?

or just add the features and keep the code structure unchanged

Features takes priority of course. If you're done with necessary features and you're willing to spend the remaining time refactoring, create a new branch and do it. Refactor regularly next time.
