Look honey, stop ya'll brawlin in my ear

A customer said this to me today:

Look honey, stop ya'll brawlin in my ear.

I still don't know what this means.

I was in New Orleans. It was a black American woman. I was explaining to her how I couldn't give her a refund on her taco.

Could it have been "bawling" rather than "brawling"?

No. I'm certain it was brawling.

bawling? - That's why I asked if you were shouting.
y'all = you all = familiar form of address

But overall, I don't understand a lot of black slang, especially regional..
