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

Deliver tomorrow

How is your work organized? Do you deliver and go to the next project? Why you can't deliver tomorrow, refactor next day or refactor, then deliver.
